HP USB Scanner

Post by Ztruker »

I'm trying to get a HP USB scanner to show up in my XP Pro VM running under Windows 7. I setup the filter as explicitly as I could but the VM never sees the USB device.

This is what it looks like under Win 7:

Any ideas appreciated, thanks.

Windows is an unforgiving beast when it comes to USB. Try to enable the USB and do not give it a filter. Then when in the guest select the device in the (devices tab) and select it. See if the scanner works then.

Moving to Windows 7 host.
