Just use the new PPD file for the new printer's set-up. You can still
keep the old printer and make the new one your new default. So you
can compare ...
There could be one cause: byte order (or is it bit order? I "once"
had this in SunPC, a PC emulation running on SPARC based suns: intel
is LSB first, the rest of the world is MSB first! The colour pictures
looked psychedelically.) Imagine the scanner's output has an alpha
channel. It could be misinterpreted as completely opaque and printed
as deep black. Or such!
What is on the command line
file <your TIFF file>
telling? You could also invoke
sips -g all <your TIFF file>
