After a couple of unnerving hours I finally found the cause of the
malfunction.

Our printer has been set as the default printer. Now I recently added a
second printer for the teachers room, accessible via wifi only.

As soon as this printer has been setup, Simple Scan was looking for this
printer's plugin.

So my mistake was assuming that defining a printer as a default printer
also meant defining it as the default scanner. Apparently there is no
default scanner, this has to be selected individually in the scanning
applications.

Anyway, problem solved. Phew.
