I found this thread after scanning to create PDFs for emailing with my recently purchased HPLaserJet M1212nf MFP. The quality of text scans are terrible. I thought I had a kludgy solution from the 2010 posts, but since I'm using hplip3.14.1 I see that solution is no longer even viable. I tried changing resolutions to no avail, but now I understand why scans are quicker no than with HP LaserJet 5 that this printer replaced. I thought it was a technological advancement. Ha! I would really like to have better quality than faster speeds.

This makes it impossible to scan anything losslessly. Editing ~/.sane/xsane/($scanner).drc to say "compression" "none" Fixes this temporarily.
