It wouldn’t work when I put it through a powered hub, not even like a desktop docking station type hub, only thing that worked was directly into the computer with the new cable.
My apologies if you already tried this - but your computer does have USB C ports right, just not A ports? When I had this same issue, I ended up having to buy a brand new cable so I could plug the scanner directly into the computer with USB C and then the thing finally worked.

This is also why, if you are teaching someone something, allowing room for discomfort is so key. I teach art workshops and some people are just SO afraid of the discomfort that comes with making art, like 'am I gluing this magazine scrap to the paper wrong?' 'Why don't you try it? See what happens'
