OK, looks like fingerprintGUI is working like intended (The PAM services must be configured for the test function). For your purpose, identifying persons who don't have an account on your computer, fingerprintGUI is not applicable. It needs an entry in /etc/passwd and a home directory for each user to be identified. I guess you need a special application for this.
