I see that qemu for Linux is only available as source code. Is there enough in BL3.4 to compile it (after adding the extra 9.0 libraries mention in Steven's "library" page, or does it need more ?

David gave a link for a binary that he, I (and possibly Steven) have gotten to install and run on BL3.4--so long as you add the other libraries David listed in his recent post about how to do this. Those are some bits from Slack 9.0. It might not be as simple as it might seem to get your scanner to work from a Win9x instance running under qemu, though. It emulates hardware, and I'm not sure it can access a real parallel port (assuming your scanner uses a parallel port). Or is it USB--in which case it likely won't work because BL3 doesn't handle USB too well. You might want to have a go at reading the qemu documentation to find out how easy/difficult it might be to get your scanner to work from a qemu Win9x instance. I may drag out the actual hardware tonight and see if Ifinally meet with success at installing Win98 under BL3.4 and qemu.
