Bug Description
Binary package hint: simple-scan
Simple-scan scans from my Packard Bell Diamond 1200 in pure two-colour black-and-white, not greyscale, meaning that scans are very hard to read. There doesn't seem to be a way of setting greyscale scanning (ideally, the scan would default to either greyscale or colour scanning, since threshold black-and-white scans look horrible).
(This might be a dup of bug #498029, but I don't really know what a "colour profile" is :))

Ah. I have just discovered that this is what the "Photo"/"Text" dropdown does. So, I suggest that "Text" should scan in greyscale, not threshold black-and-white.
