When I was running 7.2 I had found a way to make it work.

First I added the product in /sys/dev/usb/usbdevs then the same 
information had to be added in /sys/dev/usb/uscanner.c then I had to 
recompile the kernel, build and install it. The scanner would then be found.

Now on 8.0 I can't find uscanner.c so there must be another way to 
handle it.
