@Balkonsky: I can confirm the findings in all points. I have also not found a solution.

Latest pkg + epsonsca2-non-free-plugin give communication error.. iscan , xsane works fine with the v600 scanner, however, to get the Transparent unit to work, I needed to use different device epkowa " the non-free device" however that doesn't show at all in epsonscan2, and I have no idea why

Had the same communication error with my XP-3100. Installing this package helped: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/epsonscan2-non-free-plugin

I get the same communication error, which is odd because this was working perfectly ~1.5 months ago on the same version. Agreed, this seems like a i/o bug somewhere in a dependency.

The package currently builds and installs correctly; but it does not work properly to full extent:

Executing epsonscan2 opens the application (see blue Epson icon in the taskbar), but with a failure window stating "Communication with the scanner not possible. Please make sure that the scanner is connected and turned on".

So far this I/O connection issue is Arch-related. The same Epsonscan2 works fine under Debian-based distros (after installing the Epson-provided drivers from the.deb and adding dependencies). This AUR package not working properly also affects other applications under Arch Linux like scanimage or xsane; both can detect the scanner but not connect with it. Maybe this behaviour can be confirmed by others or looked into. Thanks a lot!

I got error while trying to install this package. Building qt5-singleapplication... ==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.
