In the absence of any suggestions I reverted to what I do best (or
worst, depending on your point of view!) and started tinkering.
So, having deleted my sane profile and reinstalled all of the xsane
stuff without any whiff of success, I finally got the full, heady aroma
by deleting the printer and reinstalling it in the 'System,
Administration, Printing' dialogue.
I've just tried it on the other machine that couldn't see the scanner,
this time having first tried and failed to connect beforehand, and the
same method worked there too. It would therefore seem that this issue
was resolved with this approach rather than having 'corrected itself'!
