USB system hasn't detected the device, Epson devices are prone to this.
No amount of waiting is likely to find it, '*USBDiscover' might work.

!USBKick will attempt to correct both 1) and 2) - even if it fails you
shouldn't be in a situation where the machine locks up when scanning.

I believe you switch the scanner on with the machine so I would advise
running !USBKick in your boot sequence.
