Microtek Scanner I have a microtek scanner that is ancient that I would love to run on my ibook OS X. It's the Microtek Scanmaker X6. I downoaded the drivers, but I can't get it to work...ideas?

You will find a list of scanner drivers for many Microtek devices, including the ScanMaker X6 at the SANE website.

Hi , try this -

Let me know if the link works and I have helped you.

Microteck unfortunately have poor support for OS X, so you may have to get a new scanner.  Epson are equally bad for OS X so avoid them too.

it support up to Mac OS .2 but since this is an older model it still should work

You should be able to download the proper drivers for your Operating System directly from Microtek:

Since you didn't tell us which country you're located in, or which OS you're using, I can't provide any more specific information for you...

The Download page is located here, for users in the US:

From what I could determine, the X6 model was discontinued some time ago, and there were at least THREE versions of it; you'll have to find it listed under the Product Category in the Discontinued Products section, then choose the version (parallel port / EPP, SCSI, or USB), in order to download the driver you need. Seems that the SCSI version has drivers ONLY for Apple computers; if you're using Windows, you'll need to choose one of the other options...

A Scanner this old is not likely to work with a computer that is current. You did not say if you have the driver disk to try. If you have and have loaded the MiraScan software,right click on the program icon and click on properties then campatability and set to run as W98 and see what happens You will not find driver for this one now. I assume you are running XP or 2000 This scanner designed to run with W95/98 is not compatible with modern NTFS systems.
