Looks good, but I'd expect that to be followed by something
along the lines of:
  Vendor: HP        Model: C5190A            Rev: 3740
  Type:   Processor                          ANSI SCSI revision: 02
  Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,  type 3

Did anything appear in sysfs (/sys/bus/scsi/devices/* here)?

If your distro uses udev, you need a file called something
like /etc/udev/rules.d/30-scanner.rules containing something
like:

   # udev rules for scanner

   BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="HP", SYSFS{model}="C5190A", NAME="scanner_hp_c5100C_%n", GROUP="household", MODE="0660", symlink="scanner%n"

Though of course GROUP should be something meaningful on you
system.  But this isn't going to help if epst isn't
announcing the scanner to the system. Is sysfs mounted?
