@Henry_Luengas - there is a python script in this thread: [Fingerprint scanner compatibility with linux (ubuntu, fedora, etc) - #87 by Brett\_Kosinski](http://community.frame.work/t/fingerprint-scanner-compatibility-with-linux-ubuntu-fedora-etc/1501/87) that others apparently have used with success. I have not personally used it.
