The reason G4 worked in the past was that it used tiff2pdf in the
background. I switched to using PDF::API2 for the PDF engine in order to
allow the use of the OCR layer behind the image.

Unfortunately, up to now, PDF::API2 has buggy G4 TIFF support, and so I
disabled the G4 compression option in gscan2pdf.

I have provided patches to the author of PDF::API2 to allow much better
TIFF support, but these have not yet been accepted by the maintainer of
PDF::API2.

In the mean time, which later version of gscan2pdf still do not support
G4, you would find lost of new features and bug fixes if you upgraded
via the PPA.
