Did you tell Virtualbox to show the printer to XP?
Sure. It's in the USB device filters of my VM. VBox sees there's a
printer, no problem. But WinXP guest does not detect any...

Hi all,
I am stuck trying to use my Canon USB printer MP 230 on OpenIndiana
(oi_151a7).
CUPS sees the printer. When I print a test page, no error reported, but
nothing gets printed.
There is no exact driver for MP 230, so I tried a couple: MP 220, MP 160
with no luck.
I also have a Canon MP 160 Printer. I manage to print without any problem
on that one.
I tried to print via VirtualBox using XP as guest. But no way to get it to
see USB printers either (looks like this bug to me:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3033). So basically, I am stuck, can't
print from OpenIndiana on that MP 230.
Finally, those printers are multifunction printers, and normally, the
latest sane-backend is supposed to support MP 230 (and MP 160) for
scanning. But I couldn't find the latest backend for OpenIndiana.
To conclude:
* MP 160 : printing yes, scanning no
* MP 230 : printing no, scanning no
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Axelle
