This bug is specifically about this device not working on a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10. There is a separate bug about this breaking when updating from 10.04 LTS to 10.10, bug #640083.

Installing a newer version of fprint from the PPA worked for me.

Here are the steps to get the PPA version installed:

1) Add the fprint PPA to your repositories:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fingerprint/fprint
2) Update your repositories package list and update your packages:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

No need to reboot or restart any daemons.
