The problem is probably caused by the VBox session grabbing the USB printer, thus withdrawing it from the host Linux's CUPS interface (which normally allows PC's on the LAN to see the attached printer as the LAN printer). In that case, one solution might be to adjust the V'Box guest (WinXP) so that - instead of grabbing the USB printer, it uses the LAN printer (which happens to be attached to the PC running this VBox session), thus not disturbing the CUPS interface. Has anyone else here come across this problem? Is there any solution other than installing SAMBA on the Linux host, so that the WinXP VBox guest can use the LAN printer? -- /\/\aurice _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
