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.

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

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.

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
