After getting your scanner to work on Linux it could be very annoying to enter modprobe command every time you reboot.

Modprobe is used to load a set of modules, either a single module, a stack of dependent modules, or all modules that are marked with a specified tag.

You have to do the following steps:
In “/etc/modules.conf” file you have to add the following line:
options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x010f
(0x04b8=EPSON and 0x010f= Perfection 1260 Photo)
in the file “/etc/init.d/boot.local” you have to add the following line:
modprobe scanner

Now, your scanner should be loaded automatically every time you reboot.
