I just purchased a LJ 3050 AIO. But, I have a question that actually has been 
replicated on my previous OfficeJet, PSCs, PhotoSmarts as well.

If I take a good crisp page of text & run it through the standalone copier, I 
rapidly get an equally good copy. However, if, using hplip, I scan that same 
page, I get a postscript file that is of poor fuzzy quality. I can see this 
either with ghostview or by simply printing the file. The command I use is

scanimage [options] | pnmtops > file.ps

I have tried many combos of dpi (150 to 600) & modes (color, gray, lineart) 
with negligible effects. And, in addition, this issue covers all versions of 
hplip ever released. Currently, I run v1.6.12.

Could someone explain algorithmically what is occurring? That function built in 
to the copier is of such high quality while high resolution scans are so fuzzy. 
(If the experiment is performed with a photo, the difference is not quit so 
obvious.)
