Be sure that you have installed the driver for your Flatbed Scanner. Without this driver, your computer will be unable to speak the "Scanner Language".
The following link goes to the Epson driver page:

Also be sure that you have power to the scanner.
P.S. Thank you for your computer information! It makes it a-lot easier to answer when one knows what OS is being run and what scanner is being used.

Do you have any other USB devices? Older PCs can have power issues on the ports. If something else is pulling too many mA then other devices won't be seen. Broadband modems are often a culprit.
