So it's not a hardware issue, probably, but I'm slightly suspicious because of what you wrote in https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-devel/2020-January/037488.html Was that talking about the scanner working on Windows for a little less than three minutes?

After all, making old models work again isn't going to sell any new devices. So if a manufacturer's business model is based on selling hardware, then the user is at the losing end. Even more so if that user bought hardware that requires non-free software.
