I appreciate that gscan2pdf crashed, but the stacktrace shows it was taken down by the sane-backend:

libsane-pixma.so.1

So I am reassigning this.

Evidently, the crash occurs when setting a particular option on the scan dialog window.

If you start gscan2pdf from the command line with the --log=log option, then in Edit/Preferences, switch to the scanimage frontend, you will be able to set the same option on the scan dialog window - but I assume that scanimage will crash when you try to scan.

The log file created by gscan2pdf will show the scanimage call that crashed, and the SANE people might be more helpful with a stacktrace from scanimage, as it is their utility - as well as their pixma backend.
