Now I'm truly confused. I tried again turning off compression in Maverick, and this time it saved the file properly. Now it doesn't make a difference one way or another. Whatever it was, turning on compression once has solved my particular issue. -- PDF is split in grayscale https://bugs.launchp

OK, I rebooted in Lucid and tried scanning with compression turned off. The result wasn't any different visually from a compressed version, but as expected it was a smaller file size. As the average user won't know to do this, I think compression should be considered as a workaround for Maverick r

AHA! Turning on compression set to Automatic when saving the image produced a perfect PDF in gray, in any resolution using libsane-perl as the frontend. I will check if the same option is turned on in Lucid next time I reboot. -- PDF is split in grayscale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/619187

Yes - I also tried changing the color filter from green to red, and also blue. I've also played around with different resolutions. Setting the bit depth from 8 to 16 just messes up the scan, turning it into a gray sludge. It's working in gray with Xane. It also works with Simple Scan, but since th

I scanned the same document with Simple Scan and had no trouble producing a grayscale image. I'm no expert, but that seems to rule out HPLIP as being the problem. I just did the same scan with XSane to be sure it was gray (SimpleScan doesn't specify between gray and B&W) and produced a perfect sca

I picked up another scanner last week - this time an HP 2300C flatbed. It works perfectly in lineart and colour, but in grayscale it creates a blank PDF in Maverick. The preview is fine. I have the latest HP updates, including today's. It works flawlessly in all modes in Lucid. -- PDF is split i
