Start AppVM based on the cloned template ....I did all this and more , installing the brother driver in the Template ; however at the end it asks

And for the IP address of the printer in the AppVM use the gateway of the AppVM ? in system-config-printer there are various options in settings-> device URI: usb://dev/usblp0 is filled in , and in printer state it say "waiting for printer to become available" perhaps I DONT need to tweak the fw settings in the VM Manager, but how or do I need to input the IP of the printer (I have a DDWRT router fwiw, if I'm supposed to assign a static IP somehow, and if that is not going to mess up the other computers using the network printer) As a final option, I don't use sys-usb qubes, so maybe I could connect the USB cable and try it that way instead ... sigh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
