Questions to Jadic:

1)
Does it work with scanimage or xsane (package xsane)
or xscanimage (package sane-frontends)?
Regarding debugging, see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2
"Trouble-Shooting (Debugging)"

2)
Which hardware architecture is your computer?
The usual 32-bit Intel compatible or a 64-bit AMD machine?
If it is the latter, see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.3
"limitations on AMD 64-bit systems"
But I guess this is not the case because you wrote that it had
worked well for you before using Suse Linux 9.3.

By the way:
The free version "iscan-free" doesn't help you, see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Scanner_Setup_from_SUSE_Linux_10.0
"Currently, the following models need the proprietary software:"
