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?
