I am trying to attach two old USB devices (HP Scanjet 4070 Photosmart Scanner and HP Photosmart 7960 Photo Printer) from a Windows 10 host to a Windows XP guest in order to use the software of these devices.
I have managed to do that before with no problems in a host with Windows 10 1803, VirtualBox 5.2.22 without adding the Extension Pack.
After upgrading my host to Windows 10 1809 i tried VirtualBox 5.2.22, 6.0.0 with and without the Extension Pack with no success.
As you can see from the screenshot I am facing the same problem: E_INVALIDARG. Following your suggestion, the CD-ROM was attached with no problem from the host.
I have already read the USB basics and troubleshooting but I couldn't identify the problem.
The host is Windows 10 Pro (1809 17763.195)
The guest is Windows XP Professional SP3 (5.1 2600.xpsp.080413-2111 : Service Pack 3)
VirtualBox 6.0.0-127566 with Extension Pack 6.0.0
I send the result of the following commands:
