I canĀ“t check it now cuz its dark here and i dont have
any lights to look at, but i bought it brand new at
around 93 or later. Is this of any relevancy? Its a
Genius Color Page SP2 Scanner. I know SANE suports it.


I found a page with links to scanner programs for various models of scanners. Yours appears to be a Microtek-compatible, which would be supported by the very first (1.0.0) version of SANE, or also by a small (37K) package of source code mtekscan-0.2.tar.gz

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/apps/graphics/capture

has links to mirror sites with packages for many scanners and apparently also some cameras. Coolpix, quickcam, some Kodaks. (We have one quickcam that in Windows is treated like a scanner).

I mirrored the mikrotek package (for Genius ColorPage-SP2) at:
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/mtekscane-0.2.tar.gz
along with the hpscanpbm.tar.gz package for HP
(I also posted the BL3 netpbm package for printing pbm files).

The hp package consists of one .lsm and one file in .c, but no Makefile.

The mtek-0.2.tar.gz has README, Makefile and many other files. I did not check for scanimage - maybe they use a different method.

I think SANE eventually incorporated all available linux scanner software into a much larger package (3MB or so in later versions).

Do you know how to compile?
