We call them backends. It's not quite like the 'driver' thing of W95, NT
or OS/2.

Basically SANE does not support parallel port or USB scanners. The lack of
parallel port support is mainly to blame on the manufacturers who don't
want to supply technical information about the used protocols. USB is
mainly an unexplored territory.
If you are in any position to change this behaviour within your company
(if it is currently reluctant to share the technical details) your help to
acquire this information may result in actual support if someone is
willing to accept the challenge.

Hugo.
PS: I hope you realize that this is a mailinglist of people involved or
interrested in the SANE project.
