I have same problem with my dell e6410

the goal of "update-usbids" was too show more details in "lsusb" command.
can you check for the model of your fingerprint reader by typing "sudo lsusb"

mine is :
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0a5c:5801 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor

For the moment, I did not find any driver for that device. I guess it's the reason why thinkfinger/fprint tools don't find the device
