I would really like to keep this scanner, as it's good and has all the things I need. And I use it a lot, so else I will have to buy a new scanner, that does work with Linux.

that xsane probably supports it. (That's a Linux scanning program.)
Untested, and very cursory googling on my part, but definitely worth a
shot.
