I used it more than once, it did not work successfully with all devices, but I think a printer should be easy.

Many thanks Nux, but my problem is with windows side ... What soft do you use inside windows guest to usb redirect??
No software in guest. I just choose the desired host USB device from virt-manager and attach it to the virtual machine. Should just work.
And the appropriate Windows driver should be installed for the USB device. (Eg: If it's a printer)
Driver it is installed, but printer it doesn't works ...
Try to use a tool like AIDA64 on your Windows guest OS http://www.aida64.com/downloads and see what USB devices it reports (under Devices / USB Devices)
Ok, I have found a solution to use usb from virt-manager. Adding the following lines to guest.xml, works:
<controller type='usb' index='0' model='piix3-uhci'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='1' model='ehci'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </controller>
Many thanks to all for your help.
