   And good ole Google, I'm not getting a result for "lsusb missing VID PID".   
      
   The thing is, to get as far as your lsusb got, the endpoints to the   
   USB devices must have formed. Otherwise, the tree view would not   
   exist. This means, at the physical layer, all the devices connected.   
   But somewhere in the USB stack (or DBUS or something), there is   
   a disconnect preventing the USB config space from being read   
   and parsed. Parsing your scanner for example, would find some   
   sort of scanner class info.
