[Xen-users] USB printer not working in a Linux domU

[Craig Metz <cmetz@xxxxxxxxx>]

  I am trying to get a USB printer to work in a Linux domU. I am using Xen
3.0.3 and the Xen Linux kernel 2.6.16.40. I have hidden the USB controller's
PCI devices from dom0 and exported them to domU, and build the domU kernel
with the necessary device support. When I boot the xenU kernel, it lists an
error from the USB printer class code that allocating a write buffer failed.
This is an 8k buffer, and I have checked that it's not a real out-of-memory
issue by feeding the domU more and more memory. Digging in a bit, it appears
that the code is allocating a DMA buffer.

  Could this be encountering a code path that got replaced by Xen
architecture code, code that in this case isn't working as expected?

  Has anyone gotten a USB printer to work in a Linux domU? If so, could you
tell me what needs to be done to make this work?

  Here are the errors I'm getting:

  Thanks,
