I have VB 1.5.6 running on Ubuntu 7.10 with a Win2KPro VM. USB is working but I have one problem that hopefully there is an easy solution.
I have a Canon USB MP750 printer that I use with Ubuntu. Works well, but there are a few features that are not fully available w/linux. When I connect the printer in VB/VM Windows 2KPro by enabling the printers USB filter, the printer connnects and works just fine. Problem: As long VB is open, I can no longer access the printer from linux & cups; print jobs are held. That's OK too & I guess to be expected. But when I disconnect the USB port from within VB using Devices|USB Devices (uncheck the box), VB does not release the USB port. The device status box shows as unchecked/connected, but the port is not getting released. The only way that I can get the port back in linux/cups is to: 1) close down the VM, 2) exit VB, and then 3) turn the printer on/off. Is there a workaround to get VB to release the USB port? _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
