Could you connect a RasPI or something else to the system, and use a more
modern protocol to talk to the real world?

I have an old laser printer that does not have Wifi nor Ethernet and I put
a tiny DLink router (it's abandoned, have 32MB of RAM but it's enough for
OpenWRT) and I use that as a printer server. You probably can do the same
with your scanner.
