I am running Ubuntu 17 on my Thinkpad E480.

I have an external fingerprint reader and would like to know how to use it.

I tried using lsusb, but it didn't show the fingerprint device.

Any ideas?

First, check if you can see your fingerprint device with the next command:

lsusb

Second, You need to install fingerprint-gui use the next commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fingerprint/fingerprint-gui
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libbsapi policykit-1-fingerprint-gui fingerprint-gui

Third, Logout & Login again, launch the Fingerprint GUI and enrol your fingerprints.
