You need a Serial-to-USB Converter that works well with Ubuntu and supports RS422. There are quite a few available. I personally have good experience with the VSCom USB-2COM-PRO.

Then, you need to connect the RS422 serial pins of the scanner (i.e. Pins 11, 12, 23, 24) to the respective pins of the converter. (Note: this is serial, so Rx=Receive goes to Tx=Transmit!)

cob_sick_s300 is not available right now

It is released into kinetic and melodic, source is available, and the Readme has some hints about configuration.
