I have an old scanner that apparently has some defects. When I connected it to my Linux laptop and scanned a white A4 paper I got this.

Linux Scanned White Paper

But with Windows Fax and Scan I got this which is almost okay.

Windows Scanned White Paper

Somehow Windows Fax and Scan managed to correct the scanner defects. But going to Windows just to scan some documents is annoying. Is there a tool for Linux that can correct this kind of defect?

Give Vuescan a try. It's a nice multi platform scan software, that works with a lot of different devices.
