Hi, Pierre,
I'm not sure if it is applicable in your case, but may be some
firmware required or some config-file with proper way to it was
recently rewritten/moved.
I have an old Epson Perfection 2480 Photo scanner and my usual way to
install/reinstall it is like such:

hi Dmitry
Thank you for your detailed reply, but in my case I'm quite sure that
the problem is no with xsane, but at the system level, for the
following reasons:
1/ The other scanning programs don't find the scanner either
(scanimage, simple-scan, hp-scan)
2/ on my desktop, where the scanner works, I don't have a snapscan
directory
3/ as I said, the scanner is seen and works via the web interface
4/ I just discovered a more worrying thing:
the hp utility hp-probe doesn't find any device (printer or
scanner)
On my desktop, "hp-probe -bnet" gives:
hp:/net/Officejet_Pro_6830?ip=192.168.1.9 Officejet_Pro_6830
HPA48092
and on the laptop:
warning: No devices found on the 'net' bus
As system-config-printer finds the device, I think that the problem
is related to HP software, but I'm unable to find how...
best regards,
Well, then Plan B. I don't know which way you use to share your
printer+scanner for your network. But if you use CUPS, then the pages
may be interesting for you:

http://xmodulo.com/configure-network-printer-scanner-ubuntu-desktop.html
You may check if the saned is running both on the server and on the
client side.
And check: a) access rules in cupsd.conf (server side), b) saned hosts
in /etc/sane.d/net.conf (client side).
Best regards,
