I'm having trouble making the sane backend find the gl846. I came up with
some code and wanted to test it. It is built into the genesys backend. I
added my vender/product into /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf. I assumed that
scanimage -L would show the scanner. What all do I need to do to have the
scanner found?

Let me know if more details are needed:

$ scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.23git; backend version 1.0.22

$ locate gl846
/home/brian/programs/sane-backends/backend/.deps/libgenesys_la-genesys_gl846.Plo
/home/brian/programs/sane-backends/backend/.libs/libgenesys_la-genesys_gl846.o
/home/brian/programs/sane-backends/backend/genesys_gl846.c
/home/brian/programs/sane-backends/backend/genesys_gl846.h
/home/brian/programs/sane-backends/backend/libgenesys_la-genesys_gl846.lo

$ cat /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf | grep 1f44
usb 0x1f44 0x0001
