#240884 — Shared folder and wireless printer for qemu/kvm

Hi all,

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 11
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.10.0-8-amd64
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 4 × AMD FX(tm)-4350 Quad-Core Processor
Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD CAICOS

I have my Debian 11 installation as host. I installed Debian 10 on 
qemu/kvm to run a program that needs Qt4. I need to set up a shared 
folder and connection to my wifi networked HP Officejet Pro 8600 
printer. I have searched for a shared folder setup on the internet and 
have found multiple setups that don't agree with each other. Further, I 
don't remember the process to be so complicated when I did this before. 
Does anyone have a simple straight forward setup method.

I have not found a printer setup that works for my system. I can ping 
the printer from the guest OP. So the network bridge seems to be working 
fine. The HP printer is wifi connected to my local network and is 
accessible by all of the computers on the network. This includes the 
host system. I have Cups installed on both the host and guest systems. 
Nothing I do seems to find the printer. Note: Firefox works fine on the 
guest OS.

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Gary R.

What do you need to connect to it for? Printing? Scanning? Both?

The first thing I would do is make sure I can access the printer from
the host OS. Then see if CUPS/SANE on the guest will find the printer by
itself. If not, I'd copy the CUPS setup by copy and paste from the host
to the guest. For SANE, I'd copy /etc/sane.d/dll.d/hplip over.

The SANE driver will almost certainly be hpaio.

Another possibility for the printer is to make the host instance
sharable and use that share on the guest.

Does anybody read signatures any more?

Thanks for the reply

I am interested in printer only. As I stated in my email: The HP printer 
is wifi connected to my local network and is accessible by all of the 
computers on the network. *This includes the host system*. Right now the 
shared folder is probably more important because I can then switch 
systems and print a file from the host system.
