The most important thing is to know if this is reproducible with the latest Simple Scan from Ubuntu 12.04 and if it is reproducible every time or just occassionally.

And because this might be hardware related, you should probably read the following text:

==============================================================
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

Reassigning to hplip - this is a crash in the HP scan drivers and seems to be related to bug 930914 which is the top detected problem for Ubuntu 12.04 users with simple-scan (see https://errors.ubuntu.com/?release=Ubuntu%2012.04&package=simple-scan&period=month)

I am not able to reproduce this issue in latest hplip 3.13.11. You are using the old version of hplip 3.12.2-0ubuntu1. Can you please download the latest hplip from www.hplip.net and install it. Try again the same procedure and let me know whether you're getting the issue.
