Print Queues and KVM/virt-manager virtual Windows machines
I have printers attached via USB to my Debian/Stretch server and also
one that also has an ethernet connection. The problem I'm having is that
the virtual machines seem to grab exclusive access to the printers, so I
can print from my Linux (Debian/Buster) workstation.
The printers show in the CUPS web interface and also in the print
dialogues but CUPS reports the printers aren't communicating when I try
to print to them.
I can print to the one that has a network connector, but only through
that port.
Is there any way to be able to share a USB printer with a virtual machine?
