you will have to print from a sys-usb qubes then most likely if using usb. the template you install printer drivers to is that one. You can try to add single usb device instead if using latest qubes. https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/ Scroll to "Attaching a single USB device to a qube (USB passthrough)" Then you can attach the single usb device to an appvm and possibly print to it? No idea though I've never tried it, maybe someone with more experience can chime in. Actually I have dont it with an android phone and its worked. Before I would have to transfer files from the usbvm. So maybe it works for printers too I would give it a shot. Though, most people use network printer from a disposable vm using a whole separate template. cause printer drivers is untrusted. first virus i ever got as a young child was from a printer driver disk straight from factory. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
