Yeah, and there aren't really very many on this topic.

I'm not sure. I don't have any experience with this, so you're
actually ahead of me with the experiences you're having. It might be
worth a try, though. Do you know what each of them does and would it
matter if the built-in one was disabled?

That's a monster we all encounter from time to time. I've got a
hand-held scanner like that that only works in Windows without my
even having to install a driver for it, but isn't even noticed by
Kubuntu. It's as though I hadn't plugged anything in.

It's good that you can do that, though, and hopefully someone else
will chime in here with some more possibilities to try.
