Does anyone know how I might be able to eliminate this pattern from
the image using Photoshop?
Thanks in advance!

The problem is called 'moire pattern'. If your scanner has a
'descreening' option, turn it on. There are other approaches, but this
seems to be the simplest to use.

Not a moire but a texured paper, descreening on a coarse setting will
get rid of the pattern but at the price of less sharpness. This will
be better than any photoshop function. I second the previous post
saying I hate this paper.

It was very popular when I did weddings eons ago. The proofs were delivered
to the couple on "E" type paper to prevent this very thing (with cameras).
