Hi

the device is a Genius ColorPage-HR6 V2 USB flatbet scanner 
from lsusb: ID 0458:2007 KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) ColorPage-HR6 V2

it's supported by the plustek backend according to one of my users. The 
backend reports buttons, but they don't seem to work with this scanner.

the buttons can work with your backend (for example the Canon N67OU/LIDE20 
seems to work perfectly), but not with this device.

what can I do to find out how the buttons are working, and may be add support 
in your backend?

to the sources of another project named scanbuttonsd.
