There is a code layer called sanei_usb that's used to do USB access in SANE. It uses the kernel scanner driver or libusb. The documentation of the SANE internal functions is at http://sanei.meier-geinitz.de/ . The user view of SANE USB access is documented in "man sane-usb". Some hints about writing backends are in doc/backend-writing.txt. Please use the latest SANE CVS (http://www.student.uit.no/~pere/linux/sane/cvs-server.html) so you get all the USB features.
