I cannot help you in IRC but I'm interested in your driver.
If the protocol is 
similar enough, perhaps you can reuse the code of the pixma
backend.

What have you done so far? Have you already captured some
USB traffics? If so, 
can you upload the log files somewhere in the internet? I
could try to modify 
the pixma backend so that you need to add only protocol
specific codes and 
don't need to worry about SANE API for the present.

Hi Martin,

Your scanner seems to use the same command set as
MP700/MP730 but there are 
still some differences, e.g. the command sequence for
reading image data, the 
length of the interrupt packet (16 instead of 8 bytes) etc.
You can derive 
your code from pixma_mp730.c in the pixma backend. (Please
download the 
backend from http://home.arco
r.de/wittawat/pixma. I haven't updated CVS yet.) 
Add your scanner to the device list at the end of
pixma_mp730.c:

  DEVICE("Canon PIXMA MP360", 0x263c, 1200, 636,
877, 0),

The backend should detect your scanner now. You may try
scanning a _small_ 
area but don't expect that it'll work. Unfortunately, the
source code is not 
documented. If you have any questions, just ask! 

Regards,
Wittawat
