Well, I just tried XSane and got the same results.  I tried to test it in that 
other OS, but, wouldn't you know, the app that the scanner manufacturer 
supplied hangs every time I try to use it.  I guess I need to remove the lid 
and see if there is something else going on.  Certainly, two apps producing 
the same results seems to point to the H/W, right?

FWIW, I like XSane's interface much better than Kooka's.  It seems to be a bit 
more intuitive to me.

Thanks for the comments.
