Scanning is being done and shown properly in the preview mode of Xsane. However there's some problem with directly saving pages which are completely black.
The scanimage command, on the other hand is working beautifully (with the option --compression=none), and now we can go on and develop our scripts around it.
Thanks a lot Aaron and Team HP.
Gaurav.

Looks like we have a work around.
Open xsane, click on window, then advanced options. Change Compression:
MMR to None. And try scanning again.
This will be fixed in the next release.
Thanks!
