In what format did the scanner save it?
There is the cjpeg(1) prog that came with the jpeg software from:
        ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/   jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
which claims:
       cjpeg  compresses  the  named  image file, or the standard
       input if no file is named, and produces a  JPEG/JFIF  file
       on  the  standard  output.   The currently supported input
       file formats are: PPM (PBMPLUS color format), PGM (PBMPLUS
       gray-scale  format),  BMP,  Targa,  and  RLE  (Utah Raster
       Toolkit format).   (RLE  is  supported  only  if  the  URT
       library is available.)
and then there is the gimp, which needs no such introduction:
