Dear friends, I created a PrintFedoraVM based on template FedoraVM, connected the printer to PC by USB, attached the printer in sys-usbVM to the PrintFedoraVM, downloaded the Linux-64bits driver from printer manufacturer, installed the driver by using PrintFedoraVM terminal and following the CLI th…

In order to configure the printer as a network printer, the printer and the PC must be in the same network, therefore on the same router. I would be grateful if you can explain how to install the driver in sys-usb. Thank you.

Dear 51Lieal, I cannot install the printer in sys-usb because sys-usb does not have network, so I cannot download the driver into sys-usb.

You can download the driver in any VM then Copy/Move the driver to sys-usb, got it ? Focus on installing driver then printing first, don’t bother to set networking, etc…

Hi 51Ilieal, I downloaded the driver into PrintFedoraVM, but when I tried to copy it to sys-usbVM by doing Ctrl+Shift+c in PrintFedoraVM, and then Ctrl+Shift+v and then Ctrl+v in sys-usbVM, it did not work.

I never did successfully install it though lol

Well im sorry to hear that… I use to have my printer on the router and it worked perfectly in qubes, but that router died and this new one doesnt have printer connect, no big deal, I will connect to qubes usb… UHOH dead. I do not have a sys-usb qube, I just use the dom0 usb manager in the task bar… …

Dom0 sudo qvm-usb shows nothing even though I have stuff showing up qubes devices icon… USB works but just not for the printer for some reason

The server option says I can connect to localhost or /run/cups/cups.sock but neither seem to work, in the printer window crtl-p says waiting for printer to become available. Ive been trying to get this to work for a few hours now can I say the “F” word on here?
