Solved
1) Put Sane-backends-1.0.12 in the trash-can 2) Download and install Sane-backends-1.0.10 (that worked in march with SuSE-7.3) and Sane-frontends-1.0.10 3) Only problem: xsane: the tarball xsane did not work. I installed the SuSE-8.1 xsane package and it took me 1/2h to convince YaST2 that I did not want its outdated 1.0.8 Sane version but only xsane.
It works now.
Most strange. As I said, I merely plugged the scanner in and it worked. My system has sane 1.0.10-36 and xsane 0.90-44, as on the 8.2 DVDs. I have no trace of packages called "Sane-backends" or "Sane-frontends", only "sane", "xsane" and "yast2-scanner".
