Genius Scanner Options

[thunder.scripts]

I don't think this is remotely possible, but I have a Genius ColorPage-Vivid 4X.
Are there any drivers anywhere for OS X? Genius' web site doesn't have any

Yes, your scanner is fully supported. You need to install the SANE twain drivers for OSX.
Drivers Page: http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/
Compatible devices list here: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-GENIUS

Simply download the following files and install them in this order:
libusb
SANE backends
SANE Preference Pane
TWAIN SANE Interface

Cheers,

You've GOT to be kidding me! I can't believe there actually is a driver for this! Thank you so much!! I thought there may be something like macam for scanners but didn't find anything, this must be it

I'll try it in a few minutes!

[hecker]

Yeah, man. I was as surprised as you are now when I found that site. Hehe

Lucky us

Sorry for hijacking, but i have an benq/acer scanner and i also installed Sane. The problem i have, there must i put the firmware? The normal Linuxfolder is not there.

Thanks for help.

Yes, you have to save your scanner's firmware in a specific directory (I don't remember which, it's in sane's documentation).

Where to get the firmware from? Well, I installed the scanner in Windows and the driver placed the firmware file in the Windows directory. Just install the driver and search the firmware file
