Bit of a breakthrough :)
Launching simple scan and xsane via the terminal with the USB3 workaround[1]
environmental variable works:
$ SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1 xsane
Or
$ SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1 simple-scan
The weird thing is I had previously set that variable by adding `export
SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1` in my ~/.bashrc as outlined here.[2]
But that *did not work*.
It's only by chance I tried this.
So, apparently for the SCX-4600, the USB3 issue is the culprit.
