After a lot more wrong turnings and much agonising, thinking instead of panicking (at last!) and retrying: root@Eros:/home/lisi/Sane-Files# scanimage -L device `genesys:libusb:001:003' is a Canon LiDE 220 flatbed scanner root@Eros:/home/lisi/Sane-Files# Thank you so much Brian and didier, especially for your patience.
