John, Not knowing your exact barcode scanner is a real hindrance. One good piece of information you forgot to provide was what exactly you were interfacing to. USB barcode scanner is too generic, you need read http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
That being said the VID is from Honeywell, so here is on of their manuals for a 2d barcode reader. See page 2-4 of http://www.honeywellaidc.com/CatalogDocuments/Xenon-UG.pdf Clearly it states that to enable the USB CDC mode you scan that barcode. To enable USB-CDC mode of the barcode scanner. Windows needs a driver, but mac and linux will use the generic USB-CDC driver. Now you will connect with pySerial and communicate with your barcode scanner as a serial device.
