Re: [qubes-users] Re: USB Printer
For future reference I suggest to all to obtain a network printer that supports open command languages for printing such as PS/PCL so that you don't need to rely on USB junk that requires non-free firmware and or will eventually break due to no driver updates for new distros. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: USB Printer
...as an FYI I did have to add my drivers as they were not included, I downloaded my drivers in a DVM, moved the driver to my templates DeskTop and then did the following to install them: su cd Desktop sh "driver file" I was then prompted with a long list of commands in terminal that are likely different depending on your printer. The USB vs Network is something I can't speak to... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Thanks, but it sounds like your printer has networking capability. I suspect that alone would solve the issue. Being a USB printer, without a built in driver already part of the basic distro... it requires more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: USB Printer
I am not sure I have all the answers but here are some thoughts and hints based on how I have my printer setup(wirelessly): 1) I created a dedicated Template for printing, in that template I have my CUPs installed (This way I keey my other templates clean). I am also able to create a DVM and a AppVM based on that template 2) I use a Debian template, in that Print Template I have GNOME installed 3) During setup I need to allow connection access to test its working, once tested I remove network access (You might need to allow USB access or in my case I allow access to Sys-firewall" for testing only. 4) I use "Print Settings" to set up my printer in the template, then when I create an AppVM or -DVM the information is populated. My CUPs stuff gets populated into the "print settings" GUI 5) Make sure to shutdown template before creating the AppVM or DVM I don't use a lot of USB devices with my setup but I suspect you need to allow access to the USB via the "Device" tab in the AppVM.
