If you post the output from the command line, having started with

gscan2pdf --debug

and trying to scan, then I can tell you for certain. I assume, though,
that your scanner is not quite capable (by a couple of tens of a
millimetre in one direction or another) of scanning the paper size
requested. I have fixed this in the upcoming release. A workaround in
the mean time is to edit the paper size, reducing the critical
dimension by a millimetre.
