Notice that it hasn't changed from the default as-installed snapscan.conf.

I had another thought on this, do you actually have a file there, and if so what's in it and who put it there?

The directory /usr/share/sane/snapscan doesn't even exist.  All that I have
in /usrs/share/sane is a file called sane-style.rc and a directory named xsane.

Okay, thanks for your time, I have no idea why xsane complains about the file being missing on my system and not yours, unless for some reason your scanner is recognized differently than mine and is not even looking at the snapscan file. In any case, it has now officially taken too much time and too many scanners, and I have to move on with another O/S, since I can't find anyone other than you who even has a clue, or is willing to offer thoughts.

What kind of interface do you use, uhci or ehci?

I have no idea.  It's just plugged into a USB port on the computer.  And, as I
said, it's always "just worked".

Oh, was the scanner connected at install time?

No.  I actually set up that computer at a different location (my office) before
moving it to its actual location (a different office).  When I set up the
computer all I plugged into it was a mouse, keyboard, monitor and network cable.

Is there anything in  modprobe.conf related?

Not that I can see.  Here is the modprobe.conf from that machine:

alias eth0 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-hda-intel index=0 remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
