Thanks whoami. Your solution looks interesting. Much appreciated. But for now, I know there is a way to make my present setup work, as it will work from the old, defective printing vm. I would like to see if I can find what is missing on my new printer vm, to get it working. It has to be just one minor glitch, which I’m missing. Also it appears your method requires the extra step of transferring print info via the copy from qube to qube method.
I’m suspecting, since the scanner works fine and the problem is just printing, that I might have the printing portion not recognizing the printer as being at the same “location” in the usb, or as has happened in the past with the scanner (less likely I think), a printer driver file needs to be copied to another location. I used to need to copy 32bit scanner drivers, etc from lib to lib64 folders, to get the scanner working a few years ago. So far I’m not seeing any difference between the old printer vm settings and the new vm settings. How do I check if the print function is looking for the same location as the scanner function for instance? Thanks.
