I have a USB printer (Canon iP4500) which works very well with FreeBSD as far as printing is concerned but it's a bit of a pain having to move it over to a Windows PC if I want to run any of the utilities like checking ink levels or head cleaning. USB support with VirtualBox would be very useful for that. I'm usually rather hesitant when it comes to experimenting with 'bleeding edge' versions of software but I'm seriously tempted to give this one a try. -- Mike Clarke _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
