It does seem to be related to the paper type- I see much better results on
plain paper and other reports have the common factor of photo paper.

I think that was exactly the problem. The message did eventually get

As you can see it seems to be a problem that a few people have reported
and they are maybe going to look at. I'll offer my help there.

OK. I'll see how it goes on the list. There seems to be another R200/300
user on there with a scanner so perhaps my results won't be needed.
Thanks for your help,
