Print Queues and KVM/virt-manager virtual Windows machines

Show all headers | View raw

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?
