I am ashamed to say that I simply forgot that the USB function
was disabled in the BIOS settings...  After I enabled it, the
scanner showed up in 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' and the command

    modprobe scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x0110

succeeded.  I was then able to scan an image by saying

    scanimage > image.pnm

The resolution is low, but I suppose I'll find a way to increase it.

Sorry for wasting your time...
