That worked. I opened a terminal on Fedora-23 template VM, ran "sudo dnf install qubes-usb-proxy" without quotes, opened a XTerm from the System Tools Xfce start menu, ran "qvm-usb", found my printer listed, then ran "qvm-usb -a disp[#] sys-usb:[#-#]" replacing # with whatever number the disposable app VM I had open that I wanted to print from and the other #s replaced with the numbers listed next to my printer with the previous command "qvm-usb" and no brackets or quotes. Printed just fine. I wish qvm-usb was available through the GUI Qubes VM Manager. Since it's not I have to save a Firefox bookmark to the page https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/ so I don't forget the commands I need to use to attach my printer to another disposable VM next time I need to print. Thanks for all your help you guys. My printer now works! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
