working with a simple workaround :-)
It is enought to change a couple of lines in the configuration files of sane 
for the xerox_mfp driver:

Open a terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf

At the end of the file copy/paste these two lines, save and exit:
# Samsung SCX-4100
usb 0x04e8 0x3413

Now the same for the second file. From terminal type:
sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules
Now, NOT at the end of the file as earlier, but around row 832, close to 
"Samsung scx-4200", add the following two rows:
# Samsung SCX-4100
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3413", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

Save, close, and (maybe not needed) reboot. Scanner should be ready to
be used.

I emailed the guys of the xerox_mfp driver, so I hope they will include
the Samsung SCX-4100 in the list of their supported devices for nexts
versions of their drivers...
