I have the same problem with my own ScanMaker 630, and I suspect an
oddity in the firmware, where the Windows software somehow works around.
Normally the colors are correct, but with a color scan after a B/W scan
I get the same wrong colors. Up to now the only way I found to get the
colors right again, when they are wrong, is to start a grayscale scan.
After that all subsequent color scans are ok again. I am working on this.
