Does this device work with fprintd under Linux? Can anyone with some tech savvy provide the deviceID so I can check it against the fprint docs?

It should however after 5-7 months it gets shaky, then in 9 months it will work when it feels like working.

The best way to find out would be to first build and install libfprint (the latest version is 0.5.1), using the flag "--with-drivers=all" on the configure command line.THEN, build and install fprintd to test and get the GUI that shows how it works.I can tell you that the latest version of libfprint works perfectly with the Validity 301 reader.

I had the same problem, and ended up sending the printer back. Is it possible to make it work? Maybe. But it is certainly not worth the time it would take to get there. The documentation is pitiful. Very frustrating. But you know that already...

Yes, this device will work with any Linux system that has USB HID drivers installed. These drivers are normally installed by default. The device worked perfectly with my Arch Linux/KDE system.

I could never get it to work at all. I think it is very pickey about what printers it supports. I am an IT professional and have a lot of experience with LPR printing. I would pass this by unless your printer is on the supported list.

Sorry, I know nothing about Linux ststems. Your best bet would be to contact either Linux or Creative.

I am using it with an old Alps ribbon cassette printer. Printer drivers would only work under XP or older but the cable worked fine. Ill try and give it a test on Linux tonight, what distro are you using? Mine will be loaded in a VM so I might be throwing another gear in the mix that could cause issues so hopefully someone else will chime in as well.

Yes, I am working with it and had no problems. I just installed it a few weeks ago, following the procedure in the manual, then the firmware was automatically updated and then connected to the computer with the drivers and apps previously installed from the cd. I printed from word, open office, gimp, illustrator, chrome, adobe reader, and all of them worked fine, I am using it with a usb cable but because I need to test large heavy graphics, but the speed when printing wireless was as fast as usb for letter size documents. The drivers are current. No compatibility problems or popups.

I bought my printer used from an online auction about six years ago. I have used it via USB connection, and currently have it wired to the U-Verse WI-FI server/hub/modem/whatever. Mine work(ed)s great with WIN XP, WIN Vista, WIN 7, WIN 8 and now WIN 8.1 OS. My son is printing from the household network using his current Apple OS release from both iPAD and a MacBook, but I don't know the release nickname.

I'm certain it will work. Worse case scenario is you'd have to format it from ExFat (how it comes) to fat32. Then anything will read it. I've got one in my Asus tablet .I formatted it to fat32 just to make sure I never had any issues and it works great

ubuntu has inbuilt support for most of the printers. If you find issue most of the OEM provide drivers else you can get help from community. askubuntu.com

I recall it worked with my version of Ubuntu, but that was a long time ago, not sure what version of Ubuntu u have and the firmware version right now. Sorry, cant be of more help.

Don, I have. and yes it does work. the device is actually running an embedded version of linux. it is running arch. with the right searching you can actually find out how to ssh into it and do what you want for running apps. I have gotten into mine, no large modifications as the device is my primary backup at the moment. the device is really just running SAMBA to give network access to the storage. I hope this helps if your still wondering. :)

If you install WinXP than any GPS that uses USB or a USB dongle will work. And the same goes for any printer, just install the WinXP drivers. If you're using the native Xandros Linux, then you should use CUP for printing, they have drivers for just about anything. There's less available for GPS under linux though.

Doesn't seem like it. I tried to search for drivers but can't find any for Linux. I had to return the item. I use Ubuntu 14.04.

I got v3 in December. That's the one with USB id 1b80:e34c. Supported in latest Linux kernels, if that's why you ask.

From user reviews, it appears this is a Realtek RTL8192 (RTL8192SU, maybe?) I wouldn't bet my life on it given the rapid way circuit boards in the "same product" change, but one Amazon reviewer did appear to get an RTL8192SU. It should work with Linux as noted on https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x but possibly with "non-free" (meaning $0.00, but with restrictive licenses) drivers.

Chris, what operating system are you using, how are you connected between computer and the printer?
