3) What I expected to happen was the .tiff file I scanned via a HP 5610v
All-In-One Printer/Scanner using the xsane GUI, became text searchable.

4)  Instead, when I entered the desired command as per the GNU Ocrad
website:

http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/manual/ocrad_manual.html#Image-Format-
Conversion

I got the following:

tifftopnm test-0002.tiff | ocrad
tifftopnm: don't know how to handle PHOTOMETRIC_YCBCR
ocrad: end-of-file reading pnm file.
