On a first try, I uninstalled all the three packages and installed them again, but the scanner (V100) was still not working.
Then I checked for any files with iscan on their path and the only file that was left over after uninstalling the three packages was
/usr/var/lib/iscan/interpreter
I uninstalled the packages, deleted the file, installed again and the scanner now works. Unfortunately I don't have the old file to compare their content.

Do you remember those file names? Were they installed by this package?
Comment by nplatis
There seemed to be some left-over files on my system, which were not removed even with pacman -Rns. After I cleaned them by hand, the scanner works again.

I updated the sources.
"But" my scanner still works, both on i686 and x86_64. Here's what I did: I removed this plugin, iscan-data and iscan, updated iscan and iscan-data, and finally reinstalled this plugin.

Gah, that's great. >:(
Need to investigate this when I get home. It appears there are still some downloads available at Epsons website:

...But unfortunately my scanner no longer works under Linux.
scanimage -L reports
device `epkowa:interpreter:002:009' is a Epson (unknown model) flatbed scanner
which is not very good.
Anyone else using this plugin?

The download link no longer works as Avasys is not providing download for Epson drivers any more.
Also check the iscan and iscan-data packages.
Here is a download link that worked for me (for x86_64):

Hi,
I can adopt the package if you want to. In the meantime, here's my PKGBUILD:

Cheers!

There is a typo in the PKGBUILD: it should cd to $srcdir instead of $startdir.

Based on the PKGBUILD from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37755
