I am a beginner. I want my Epson Perfection 636U scanner to work. I have researched and I find that it IS supported. I give the command cat /proc/bus/usb/devices and I see that it is recognized and identified. Now what do I do next?
Under Multimedia I found something to click on and it did something for awhile, but no screen came up.

Try
xscanimage
from the command line (with your scanner turned on, of course!)
Let us know what error messages you get (if any).

After I run the xscanimage cmd. at the cmd. line, I get an error msg. which starts out: "No scanners were identified . . ." and continues.
This is strange cause cat /proc/bus/usb/devices does identify it.
Clicking on xscanimage as a menu item under Multimedia still does nothing.
In a "competing" product called Pclinuxos, when I click on xscanimage it DOES work. So I am not up against a wall here; I can use the scanner, but I would prefer to use it with Knoppix.
Thanks for the help and I await further suggestions.
