It's o.k., the quotes were a mistake.

Thanks!

The Genius ColorPage-EP is a OEM version of the Microtek Scanmaker V300. It 
has an additional firmware peculiarity I had to handle so that the support is 
good, like the V300.
I attach the updated microtek2.desc file. I called the recent version 0.96, I 
used the build number only for internal referencing. Could you please change 
MICROTEK2_MINOR in microtek2.h accordingly?

I tested again and I get some other errors:

If I didn't forget something, this is done now.
