Thanks for the reply. I think I used the fixed method! So I have to create a new VM with larger capacity and start over?

My Win XP virtual machine is close to using all of the disc space it has been given. I have Googled what to do and have come away more confused than anything. I have tried this command in the...

Thanks to everyone for your help. I used a combination of all the replies above to figure it out.

What I did wasforgot about it being a VM "in" my linux and just went on the internet and...

You are more than likely absolutely correct in saying I don't know how to install the printer in WIndows XP. However I've never had trouble in the past installing printers into WXP or other...

OK. So yes guest additions are installed. When I open XP in VB the printer shows up in "devices" at the top of the screen and in the USB icon in the tool bar at the bottom of the screen. The...

Yes I am running XP in VirtualBox. I think I have guest additions installed? And yes connected to a USB port. I will check out the link and see what I can do, thanks for your help.

Hello,
I recently got a new printer (HP Officejet Pro 8600). I got it connected to Ubuntu 12.04 without too much trouble (though it had to be through a cable not wirelessly, it will not "pick up"...

I installed the latest version of Virtual Box from the prompt screen that appears when I open VB. After I installed that another prompt screen appeared to install the extension pack, so I did this...

I'm sorry I did not mean to mislead. I can print from Ubuntu but not from the VM. I would just copy and paste but QB will not allow that, and I cannot email from QB.

Thanks

Ok so I downloaded Samba. But I don't have a clue how to connect to it from the VM guest.

Thanks

When I do this I get the same warning as posted above (screen shot).

Thanks for your help

I did notice the small icon USB connections. When I right click on it and pick what I think is the proper USB device I get that same screen as shown above.
Thanks

Everyone thanks for the replies.

OK. So I am a member of the vboxusersgroup. And I have updated and got extension packs for Virtual Box. This changed nothing.
I tried the CUPS approach. But the VM (windows XP) will not connect...

This is what I would like to do. But I'm not sure how to on either Ubuntu or Windows.

Thanks for all your replies.

Hello
I have tried everything I can think to print from Windows XP but I cannot make it work. I thought that connecting my printer to the same USB port that I used to get information into my...

Thanks for all your help. I kept doing the things mentioned here and it worked. I really appreciate it.

Bump

OK I pressed Alt+F2 and a screen in the "dash" came up. I entered the command you have listed above. The first time I did this I got the list you indicate. But I could not change anything. It...

I tried both commands. Check the attachment to see what happened.

I said "Y" to the prompt. It downloaded a bunch of things and then gave me the same warnings and problems.

Thanks. I will give it a try this evening and get back to you.

Ok. So I tried to open the Software Center again today and this is what I got: See attachemnts please.

The second pic is what I got after I pressed "relaunch".

Little bump up. Thanks for the help so far.

Thanks for the info. I will give it a try and let you know the outcome.

Also for whatever reason I cannot copy and paste the command lines into the terminal. I have done this before, but it will not do it now.

It's good for my typing though ;)
