including Deskjet, Officejet, Photosmart, PSC (Print Scan Copy),

Does it matter which OS scans it? AKA same issues under windows. Then it's probably hardware related, like that light which allows it to see in the dark (lid closed). Although that image looks pretty good, just some post processing. Like running it through aaphoto. Or in gimp using level or curves to make it brighter.
