Hi to all!
I have completed a (very dirty) reverse engineered driver prototype for
the Canon MP750 scanner/printer. It can be found at
http://schueler.brgkepler.at/calbert/mp750/mp750.c
The program uses libusb. The scanner pulls in one page from the paper
shaft, scans it and sends the data to the program which writes a pnm to
stdout.

One test scan at:
http://schueler.brgkepler.at/calbert/mp750/test3.jpg
everything seems to run quite well. (If someone tries it and the scanner
gets on fire, you've been warned ;-). mine still works.)

Will now try to decode the protocol in detail and start to develop a
basic sane backend. If someone owns an MP750 or MP780 for further
testing, please let me know.

cheers, chris
