Microsoft fingerprint readers, or something else? The former is the only
one for which we have hardware, and tested.

Works here, though without using fprint-demo.

David Jurenka, who made your packages, apparently took over fprint-demo,

Try with fprintd-list, fprintd-enroll, etc. and report to him if
fprint-demo doesn't work.
