This article will explain in detail how to use virtual XP to make up for the problem of Ubuntu print driver. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you for reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Use my all-in-one machine on the virtual XP to make up for the deficiency of my Ubuntu printer driver. The printer with USB port does not respond in the virtual machine, so there is no hurry. We need to make a simple setting for the system in order to give Virutalbox permission to use our USB device directly.

1. Add user group usbfs

Sudo groupadd usbfs

2. View the gid of the usbfs user group

Cat / etc/group | grep usbfs

Usbfs:x:1002:

3. Add current users to usbfs group sudo gedit / etc/group

Change usbfs:x:1002: to

Usbfs:x:1002: {your user name, please do not include quotation marks}

Of course, the above steps can be operated under the graphical interface, and the location is: system- > system Management-> user and Group Operation.

4. Reset permissions to edit / etc/fstab file for USB devices, add the following two lines, and note that your gid may not be 1002

Sudo gedit / etc/fstab

Add at the end

# 1002 is the USB group IDI

None / proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1002,devmode=664 00

5. After the reboot, you should be able to use the USB device in the client.

How to use it:

After inserting a USB device, such as a U disk, right-click on the USB icon in the lower right foot of the virtual machine, select the identified U disk, and you can use it normally.

6. The easiest way to share data between the winxp in the virtual machine and the host ubuntu is to set up the data space.
