	Hello,

	this scanner is reported to have a GL841 ASIC. If so it could be added to the 
genesys backend. Try sane-find-scanner to check the ASIC. If it is really  
GL841 based, have a look at the genesys*.[ch] sources. You can start by adding 
needed entries in genesys.conf.in and genesys_devices.c and then start to 
tests.

Regards,
	Stef
