Well I downloaded it and gave it a try.
scanimage -L finds this:

device `smfp:usb;04e8;3413;8J61BAKY815410E ' is a Samsung SCX-4100
Series on USB Scanner

However, any activity (as a normal user and as root) gives:

scanimage: open of device smfp:usb;04e8;3413;8J61BAKY815410E  failed:
Device busy

I assume that is the backend's way of saying that it cannot find the
interface. :(
I guess it finds the USB id, without checkout out the interface
configuration.

Well it was worth a try, thanks.

Someone else had the same experience:

I'm starting to see a pattern with this machine.

Cheers,
