Well, according to
<URL:http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html>, the
backend is aready written. I suspect a SCSI over USB protocol is
used.
If you want to write your own frontend, the SANE API documentation
(for example on the web) should be sufficient, but please let us know
if it needs better descriptions.
You would probably be better off improving one of the existing
frontends, XSane is in a good shape, and if there are features missing
I'm sure the author will accept your contribution. This way a good
program gets better. Starting a separate project from scratch tends
to make one "bad" project and fail to improve the good project.
Anyway, good luck.
