Problem with how tissue paper scanned images print

Question

I am an artist. I frequently draw on tissue paper for subsequent tracing when I want to paint the drawing. I scan these tissue paper drawings on an Epson flat bed scanner. The scanned image has a grayish background hue from the tissue paper. When I print one of these scanned images from Photoshop Elements 13 I get either a gray background or a yellow background depending on which setting I choose in Print, More Options, Color Management, Rendering Intent. The images with the yellow background hue have sharper detail than if I print with them with the gray background hue. I would really like to have the grayish hue from the tissue paper print (and show) as a white background.

Any help with solving this issue would be appreciated.

If I understand correctly, you have a sketch on a non-white background and you simply want to make the background white?

If that is the case, apply a Levels adjustment but do not make any changes via the sliders. Just click the Set White Point eyedropper and click anywhere on the background. The background should turn white.
