Turn on logging, by specifying the --log=log option when you start gscan2pdf from the command line. Switch to the scanimage frontend in Edit/Preferences, then read from the log the scanimage call which gscan2pdf used when scanning. If you can reproduce the bug with scanimage from the command

Sorry for the delay getting back. Well, the original problem is back again. I have changed nothing whatever in the system configuration and sheet-fed scans are returning blank pages. Flatbed on the same device works perfectly. I tried all the front-end scan mode selections and all are broken

More information: I think the error message was a red herring. It appears to be an artifiact of the initial device probe and vanishes if I uninstall all the HPLIP related packages. I'm growing suspicious of something in the SANE initialization process. I discovered by accident that if I run a

Unfortunately that does not help - I tried it. Something that Xsane is doing appears to be the trick. Annoyingly, all this nonsense started out of the blue. For almost a year the scanner worked fine without any gyrations. I wonder if there was a SANE update that hosed things? -- You received

Threshold and brightness both have cap=37. cap is the capability flag. If you look at the SANE API[1], 37 is INACTIVE + SOFT_DETECT + SOFT_SELECT The question is then why the options are inactive. Unfortunately, the log doesn't make it clear what options have been set. Try changing the Scan Mode

Here is a capture of the log file. Hopefully this will explain why the options are missing? I don't recall ever changing the font end - I'm about 99% sure this one used to allow me to play with threshold and brightness. ** Attachment added: Log capture
