Hello Gerhard! Thanks for replying.

Well, I took the scanner to a friend's house and it worked perfectly on
his computer. He has a different motherboard and uses Fedora (I use
Debian). So it could be the kernel, but I guess that what you said makes
a lot of sense.  So, I tried it on my laptop (that also runs Debian),
and it seems to work.

So, I googled for "Asus A7V8X-X" and "USB", and some people indeed
complain about the USB sussystem of that motherboard. To whoever else
may be considering buying one of those, think twice.

Thanks again for your help!
