Norman Silverstone, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.
As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases your release is EOL.
If you have an issue in a supported release (ex. 16.04) please file a
new report, and feel free to subscribe me to it.
** Changed in: xsane (Ubuntu)
I am also experiencing the same problems as described here. I'm
experiencing it while scanning at 600dpi and 300dpi on a Mustek 1248ub
scanner.
** Attachment added: this is an example of the problem, the blue cast over the
image is incorrect.
