So it won't work with the scanner driver. The question is: even if
there was a change in the scanner driver, would it be possible to
support this scanner at all? I mean, we could rewrite the driver to
ignore the second bulk-in endpoint but probably this endpoint is
needed for operation.

The better and more flexible way is to uses libusb. I don't know
however, if viceo supports using it.

Maybe they sold two differnt scanners with the same name? This has
happened before. But that's really a question for the viceo
maintainer, I can't answer this.

That's ok. The "claimed interface" message is only printed when the
scanner is detected.
