No USB devices in Virtual Box
Posted: 28. Nov 2013, 19:29
I am a completely non- technical person and total linux and virtualbox newbie. I am sorry if any of the language I am using is incorrect.
I am running Virtualbox 4.3.2 with Extension pack on Edubuntu 13.10. I'm trying to install a printer on my Windows Vista 64bit guest but I can't get it to print anything. The printer is connected via USB but in Virtual Box Devices it says no USB devices connected. I've double checked using Terminal command vboxmanage list usbhost and that also says <none> for devices. Mouse and keyboard are connected wirelessly via a USB device and they both work fine. USB 2.0 controller is enabled in settings.
Please can anyone offer any advice? If I can't install the printer on VB I will have to uninstall linux and reinstall vista as my main operating system and I really don't want to do that.
