It doesn't work yet.

As none of the genesys developers seems to own such a scanner, it's up
to you to add it to the backend. See the ongoing discussions on this
list about the genesys backend.

As a quick'n'dirty trst. you could get the source code of
sane-backends (1.0.17 at least) and change the code of
backend/genesys_devices.c (at the end):

Change

  {0x04a9, 0x221c, &canon_lide_60_model},

to

  {0x04a9, 0x2214, &canon_lide_60_model},
  

and also add

usb 0x04a9 0x2214

to genesys.conf.

Bye,
  Henning
