Just doing that didn't help, but this did: I sort-of solved this (quite non-intuitively) but setting up a filter (which of course is in the docs, by typing VBoxManage list usbhost, and then copying the appropriate settings into the textboxes - which by itself didn't help at all, but then **unchecking** enable usb2.0 controller, after which when windows booted, it came up with "new hardware found" and enabled me to install the printer. Don't understand it, but then I'm not technical. Still struggling with having 2 * usb printers at once which i need, but part way there".
