Thanks for the reply! I had seen that documentation, but I was hoping there was another way to do it. It looks like I can't create a usbvm, because I'm using a desktop computer with no PS/2 ports and only one USB controller, and so I need my USB controller in dom0 to use my keyboard and mouse. Am I wrong about that? If not, it looks like I'm hosed as far as USB printers are concerned. Oh well. Qubes is still worth it anyway, and I can always copy files over to my other machine via USB stick when I need to print something. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
