If I use the former, printer works fine (not scanner, come back to this below), the latter, jobs are sent but not printed until I disconnect this.
With VMTools: $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc. Virtual Mouse Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub With direct usb: $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc. Virtual Mouse Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04b8:0838 Seiko Epson Corp. CX7300/CX7400/DX7400 However, to make the direct connection, first I get a warning: > The specified device is claimed by another driver (usb-storage) on the host > operating system.

So, any jobs I send, wait for disconnection of the printer from VM, so the host reconnects and sends the jobs. Therefore, I will assume always the VMTools connection, from here on. Another information: $ lspci | grep -i usb 02:00.0 USB controller: VMware USB1.1 UHCI Controller 02:03.0 USB controller: VMware USB2 EHCI Controller Now, while I wait any idea from you, I am going to try and install xsane, and report the result. Finally, I should have said, but forgot, that this is not a LFS/BLFS problem: it happens if the guest is *buntu and probably Arch, Gentooo (I remember I tested with another guest, but can't remember which any more). -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
