Hi all,
Does usb redirection works?? I am trying to assign to a Win7 kvm guest an usb HP printer without luck ... My second attempt is to use usb redirection, but according to Redhat's docs, this option is only available for windows using RHEV ... Is this correct??
Exists another tool to assign a printer via usb to a kvm guest??
Thanks.

As far as I can tell usb redirection works in EL 6.4. 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.

Leave the printer connected to that port on the hardware host. Changing the port on the host hardware results in a change in the bus/slot assignment requiring a re-assignment in the 'USB' pass through to the VM.

Uhmm ... that was my first attempt, but it doesn't works with my HP printer ...
Martinez,
Check if your usb adapter is 2.0 on virt-manager. Check in this link how to enable usb 2.0 controller on virt-manager.
