Question: grain on a print scan.

Question time!

I have a picture, which I downloaded from a long gone site, that had taken a scan of a photo, which has a really grainy nature. Is there any filter/combo/whathaveyou I can apply to the image to alleviate the grain?

Filters--> Blur--> Gaussian Blur is what I use; 1-2 pixels usually works well, but it depends on the scanning settings.
