I would characterize "vital for legal usage" as a bit of an overstatement: all photos still have copyrights, even if they weren't taken for money by professional photogrpahers. And if you're *legally* using someone's photograph and they're someone you know personally, why wouldn't you just ask them for the digital original.

And, for that matter, I don't think that scanner descreening algorithms will deal with the Floyd-Steinberg and similar dither patterns used by inkjet printers (which are much more common than color lasers, which *do* use the traditional grid-screening pattern like lithography does).
