Usually it's done the other way round: You own such a device so you
write the backend (driver) for it. This way you'll become member of
the sane project. :-)

Sometimes it's easy to support a scanner, especially when it uses a
chipser that is already supported. But whith completely unsupported
devices you can't expect the SANE project to start writing a driver.
Especially support for parport scanner isn't anything you do in some
hours...

Bye,
