Or try any other USB cable you have to see if that does the trick - if so,
just buy a new cable.

The FAQ at the Epson page for this scanner says that the scanner
"may not work properly" if a USB cable other than an Epson cable is
used. What cable should I use? I've been using one that I usually
use for my Canon inkjet printer. The scanner has one of the square
4-pin USB connectors, and the cable is the flat 4-pin to square
4-pin ones.



Use the Epson cable.

It may have an inline device attached as do some iPod or camera
devices.
