Printer not scanning on Guest
Printer not scanning on Guest
I have a HP Deskjet 2050 J510 attached to my host (Fedora 22). It prints as it should in the guest (Win 8.1) but it will not scan. The guest does not recognize that the scanner is even connected. any suggestions?

Re: Printer not scanning on Guest
Did you install the Windows software and drivers for your HP in the guest?

The drivers have been installed multiple times. I am unable to set the printer up. The guest does not "see" that the printer is connected via the usb ports. I am also unable to see my eternal hard drives that are connected via usb ports.

You didn't install the matching extension pack or you didn't add your username to the vboxusers group in Fedora. Or both.
Also, did you install the official version of VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads or from the Fedora repos? You want to use the official version.

Can you at least see the USB devices now?The guest does not "see" that the printer is connected via the usb ports. I am also unable to see my eternal hard drives that are connected via usb ports.

With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

With USB 3.0 enabled, I am finally able to see my external harddrives (passport drives).
