Regarding Printer..
Unless your printer is recognised natively by XP you will still need to install whatever printer software came with it.?
If that's the case...
1. Shut-down Guest, Shut-down Host, and unplug printer
2. Re-boot Host, Start Guest
3. Run Printer software and follow instructions..
It may prompt you to plugin during install, or tell you to shut-down plugin and re-start.
You only need to shut-down Guest, plugin and re-start Guest.
USB Printers/Scanner normally pass-thru from Host to Guest, no need to add them in USB devices.
I assume the printer is working under LL O.K.??
