xsane-ocr-scanning

I've ran into 2 problems with scanning on my FC1,this my be OT but
I've run out of options searching the net looking for info.

1. I scan a text doc into xsane, save it as .pbm/.pnm, after using
   xsane ocr but using less to read the file shows it as binary or
   uninteligable.
   Using gocr does not change the text using the CLI
   "gocr -v 1 out1.pnm >out.txt 2>out.log"

2. When I scan a photo from my hp psc2110 into xsane save it then
   print it out the flesh colours always change,if I view via the gimp
   there is no difference to the original photo.
