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.

Bye,
  Henning

Of course, I understand that. Unfortunately, as much as I
would like to 
see the LiDE 80 being supported, at the moment my time
doesn't permit 
any work on the code. But since I own one of those scanners,
I could 
test it, because that's supposed to be not as
time-consuming.
If there is anybody working on supporting the LiDE 80, let
me know and 
I'll provide log-files, backtraces, whatever.

Thanks,   Nick.
