Also fixed (removed from the unsupported.desc file). Well I'm not sure about
the 16B maybe we get more requests upon this device in the near future.
I believe, that it is almost the same scanner as the 1248U - we'll see.

Hmpf! Depends on how you classify status? On one hand you're

the backend code is stable so far - so what?

Well at least the old version was able to be used with libusb, but
there you needed to know the libusb device node
