Please use qemu-1.0 + ehci. The UHCI layer seems to cause this problem when handling some USB 2.0 devices. I had similar problems but with EHCI + qemu-1.0 it was fixed. See docs/usb2.txt for USB 2.0 support.

I was just testing attaching a USB device to see if it really worked, and tried my HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One printer/scanner, and the Windows XP box then started getting bluescreens and crashing at random (fairly short :-) intervals. My latest attempt was on a fedora rawhide system with pretty up to date software (qemu-kvm-0.11.0-2.fc12.x86_64), and the crashes still happen. A reply to that bugzilla recommended adding this upstream bug, so here it is. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/441672/+subscriptions
