Scan one full paper size larger than the maximum size you will print, and at double the dpi you intend to use. Then downsize the image and dpi before printing and you will minimize the grain.

As for getting from digital what you got from analog, that is a lot like a new cello player trying to get the sounds he used to get with a violin; perhaps possible, but not very fruitful.
