Have you already asked Brother if they intend to support that model?
The two bother backends already support lots of Brother scanners and
these scanners are listed on our site:
http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=brother&model=&bus=any

If the Brother approach doesn't work, documentation and links about
writing backends is on our home page, section "Contributing".

Could you tell us some more details about that device? USB or parallel
port? If it's USB, can you send the output of "sane-find-scanner -v -v"
when the scanner is plugged in, please?


Good luck!

Bye,
