scanner produces only gray blank


Scanner is successfully detected by OS, SANE backend, and SANE frontends, yet attempts to scan with frontends produce only a gray blank.

See sig for system details.

Any ideas? The gray blank image is the result with both frontends XSANE as well as Kooka.

Thanks for your time and insight. Please let me know if I can provide more info.
