	Hello,

	the guess detection needs to be tuned. It currently detects GL843 as 
GL845. I ma currently working on GL843 support in the genesys backend. There 
will be limited support for th HP G4050 in September. So the ground work to 
support your scanner will be there soon. It well need some work since it only 
supports CCD flatbed scanners.  
	However adding support for a scanner is hard if you can't have access to 
it when developing.

Regards,
	Stef
