Hi Christopher (and the other affected people), could you please read the following text, the wiki text linked, report make, model and ID of your scanner and try xsane? Thanks!

Hi there,

thank you for filing this bug and showing your interest in Simple Scan!

This seems to be a Hardware Issue, i.e. Simple Scan does not support
your scanner perfectly -- or possibly not at all.

Unfortunately such problems happen more often then they should, and while it might indeed be a problem with Simple Scan, in our experience, most of the time it is not.
This is why we prepared a check-list at [1] that will let you find out whether or not it really is a problem with Simple Scan and what your options are in either case.

Please read that list and tell us how you decided to proceed. I will set
this bug to "Incomplete", so a friendly robot will expire this bug in 60
days if you do not respond. However, we would really prefer to hear back
from you!

Best Regards
Michael
