I am having the same problem with my decade-old EPSON 1260 scanner. 
Image Capture often reports "no scanner connected" but if I power cycle 
it or unplug/replug the USB cable, Image Capture then sees it. But even 
then, the scanner will often disconnect between the preview scan and the 
actual scan. I estimate I have about a 20% success rate trying to get a 
complete scan.

In my case the problem started in 10.8 and persists in 10.9. I tried 
operating the scanner in a fresh 10.6 installation using both the 
Software Update-supplied Intel driver and the PowerPC driver that it 
originally shipped with and get the same result, so it's not a software 
problem.

My guess is that either my scanner is developing a hardware problem or 
my iMac has a USB problem. Apple Hardware Test reports no errors so I'm 
inclined to believe it's the scanner.

Can you borrow another scanner from a friend and test it out?
