Is anyone here familiar with it? I'm running XP in Virtual Box and I'm trying to install a printer but it won't recognise that the printer is connected to the USB port. VB keeps telling me that the USB port is in use by another machine (the Mac OS part of my laptop) even when there is nothing connected. Anyone know how to fix this?
 
Solved. If anyone's interested I opened VB and went into settings and made sure all USB options were turned on and the appropriate filters added and checked (including that of the printer), I installed 'Guest Additions' (launch VB, login to XP, option to install is in one of the menus - improves performance and stability) and then I installed the relevant drivers for the printer. After that VB recognised the printer.
