Hello, I am trying to use my printer/scanner on a Windows XP guest within VirtualBox. I have to use windows for it b/c the scanner doesn't work in Linux as far as I've tried. Whenever I try to install the drivers on Windows, the install guide tells me that my printer is not connected.

I think the problem is due to the USB drives b/c i have never been able to get those to work with VirtualBox.:confused: Can anyone give me a really easy step-by-step guide to getting my USB ports acknowledged?

Much thanks.
