[SOLVED] usb-printing on XP using virtualbox

[theZoid]

Sounds to me like you might be running the Open Source Edition of Virtualbox. It does not currently support USB - which I found out after trying those other steps first.

I've written a guide to using usb with non-free VB in Gutsy/Hardy here:

Thanks for the reply on this. You were correct about the OSE Version. I thought these fixes made the OSE version able to use the USB.

I've now installed the new "Sun xVMVirtualbox" 1.6 in Hardy; followed the same instructions and my USB is working great. Thanks again.
