Re: [Xen-users] Passing a USB printer to a Linux DomU

[Thomas Jensen <tom.jensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess the solution I was hoping for from the list would be to  
confirm that Xen is handling the passthrough of the USB correctly.  I  
am not an expert by any means, but since the devices are created in  
/dev and the printer shows up in lsusb and lpinfo, it appears that I  
should begin troubleshooting elsewhere.
Would you agree that USB is being passed correctly?

As part of this test rig, I have eBox installed which is managing the  
sharing of the printer.  I am pretty sure it uses CUPS, so I could  
begin troubleshooting the issue there and report back.
