This seems to be a generic issue and people complain over the web that barcode readers no longer work with Ubuntu now that usbkbd has been deprecated (see for instance http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1641450).
It's also my case (in Ubuntu 10.10) and when I plug a Datalogic barcode reader, I get kernel errors: Dec 19 22:41:46 studio kernel: [391213.984386] generic-usb 0003:05F9:2204.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Datalogic Scanning, Inc.
