Yes, if I remember correctly I never got my UareU 4000 working reliably, 
at least in the way that fprint's uru4000 is written.
I had it working in the dpfp project by cutting the firmware blob out of 
the windows driver and uploading that when the device is plugged in, but 
distributing the firmware without a license raises legal concerns.

However, all of the UareU 4000B's that I've seen work fine.
