I have a Canon scanner which is not supported by Linux - but, of course, XP does.
In the latest version of VB is the USB support still totally reliant on openSUSE or can this version now access USB devices if the driver is installed in XP under VB?

Sorry for the late reply, been away on a camping trip over the holiday weekend.
I have not had any problem with any USB device as VB grabs the device from the host OS and passes it on to the guest OS. Best thing to do is just try it. Pass that I can't help much as I don't have any Canon devices here.
I have a usb HP scanner, also not supported in linux and it works without problems in XP as the guest OS on oS 11.0. I'm using the latest Sun version of VB. Gustav.
Thank you. I shall now have to rethink things and see if my Canon scanner will work under XP as guest.

One other thing, with the VM running, at the top there is a pulldown labeled Devices, look under the USB list and make sure it is checked otherwise the guest OS will not see it.
Sorry, a much belated reply, but thanks Ken, I will look at this. BC -- Take the bull by the tail and look the facts in the face. W C Fields -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
