Windows 10 Guest USB-serial port issue

Hello,
I am new here and don't have any experience so I need help because my work depends on this solution.

I installed Windows 10 Guest on OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 (VB 5.0.4) and in VM I would like to use USB device (fiscal thermal printer) which uses USB cable but in Windows it appears as a Serial port (COM3). It works fine in classic Win10 computer and in VM it also appears in bottom USB device list but when I want to capture this device, following message appears:

Snímka obrazovky 2015-09-08 o 17.46.36.jpg (122.05 KiB) Viewed 1754 times
I guess it is used by OS X, Is there some way, how to disconnect it from OS X and make it available for VM Windows 10 Guest?

Any suggestions or advices will be appreciated.

Thanks

Solved by myself :)

Added blank USB filter and turned on device after VM started, and it appears in system device list.
