The Canon LiDE 35, 40, 50, and 60 are nearly identical so it was easy
to support them once the 35 worked. However, the LiDE 80 seems to be a
bit different.

So as with any other gl646/841 scanner a user has to create log files,
understand them and moidfy the genesy backend appropriately. See lots
of discussions on sane-devel. As with other scanners, it won't happen
automatically, it has to be done by users who own these scanners. If
this doesn't happen, this scanner will never be supported.
