I plan to buy the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 document scanner (that only
works with Win/Mac/IOS/Android) and plan to use it along with my Windows
XP VM. I've never used "USB passthrough" before and wondered if there
might be any show-stopper along the way? Has anyone used a scanner in
this manner before?
I just did a test :
- plugged my iPod via USB
- Fedora 20 automatically mounted it...
- I manually unmounted it...
- modified my VM with virt-manager (Add New Hardward) to add the usb
device (iPOD in this case)
- started the VM and installed iTunes
- iTunes found the iPod and I could see all my tracks.
So far, it seems to work perfectly fine. Howerver, the iPOD in the end
it's just a "USB mass storage device" (the scanner isn't).
I'll appreciate any feedback!
We have just the same situation on one WS here - HP scanner without SANE
support. We use usbredir:
Few (4) <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'/> channels in the libvirt
machine definition and:
[Desktop Entry]

--spice-usbredir-auto-redirect-filter='-1,0x03f0,0x3b05,-1,1|-1,0x04a9,0x1900,-1,1'
--spice-usbredir-redirect-on-connect='-1,0x03f0,0x3b05,-1,1|-1,0x04a9,0x1900,-1,1'
spice://127.0.0.1:5906

03f0:3b05 is our HP Scanjet N8400
04a9:1900 is some other device we want to go to XP.
Kind regards,
