if the problem arises with scanimage as well, the problem is within the sane libraries/drivers. please take this to the sane-devel mailing list: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel that is probably the only place where this can be solved...

There is a row size problem that causes SimpleScan to think that there are 3 more pixels per row than there really are, causing an intense shear (what are supposed to be vertical lines now have a slope of 1/3). There is also a colour offset problem. I am currently reporting about 11.10 (noncustomised). It used to work some years ago in Ubuntu (2008 approx) using SANE from inside GIMP. To get my sheet scanned today, I had someone do it for me from MacOS 9 (!!!) because I don't have Ubuntu 2008 anymore. I think that there was also another version of Ubuntu in the meantime that made it fail in a totally different manner, but I don't have details and never reported it. This is just to say to be careful when going through previous versions of the code...
