I'm running a Windows XP/Pro VM (KVM) on a Debian/Wheezy server and
am trying to get a USB printer (Samsung C410) attached to the server
to work. The manufacturer suggested trying the USB pass-through but
the port just shows "unknown device" in the Windows device manager.
It doesn't seem to like being a Samba or CUPS printer either. In both
cases I get a message about "the current printer port is not
supported for the printer status" and I get something printing that
looks more like a printer status page than the Windows test print page.
Any ideas on how to get around this? Anything I can tweak on the USB
pass-through settings to make this work?
Samsung offers Linux drivers on their site. [0] [1]
I think it is possible to set up a cups/ samba share
(or is it an other printer?)
success,

scroll down for the Linux driver
The problem isn't with Linux drivers. It works perfectly under Linux.
It's an issue with running in a virtual machine and/or the Windows driver.
I just did a little more testing and found the problem has now reversed
itself. Assigning the USB port to the VM seems to take it away from the
host. This means I can print from Windows but not Linux. If I remove the
port from the VM, Linux printing capability is restored.
Is there a way to share a USB port between a VM and the host?
