The scanner does show in an lsusb -v, but not without the -v, here is a

============================
Thanks.
I suggest to keep an eye on
http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/
these guys make some linux drivers for Epson devices (they are in some
way related to Epson). I see that they already have Imagescan for the
NX415 (actually Image Scan! for Linux & Photo Image Print System Lite)
Click on the download for "all in ones", select the NX415 and of you
go.....
Good luck|
