The error 'invalid argument' normally occurs if the frontend is not
called with correct arguments. Did you invoke scanimage with

scanimage -d microtek2:/dev/scanner

or whatever your device is ?

There exists a newer version of the backend on

ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/microtek2-pre0.6.291298.tar.gz .

However, this version seems to have the problem, that the colors are wrong
in some cases (see other mails on this list). But this is the version of
the backend, where enhancements should be applied to.

Hint: If you want to add the V310 check the function check_inquiry()
in microtek2.c.
