Well I tried the 'upgrade' route and that failed, hanging shortly
after it started. So I did a new install. Could be that's the root
of my problem. If this doesn't clear up soon I will have to put
Natty back in and wait for improvements to arrive.<br>

I've read the various blurbs about cli's but still baffled

<pre wrap="">BUT Did you upgrade Vbox ? - was it the Ubunutu packaged version,
because USB support isn't in the OSE , it is in the PUEL
edition
AIUI, VBox 4 and later allow you to install the OSE with your
package manager then install the PUEL extras as a plugin extension,
into your user profile.
You might need to fiddle with that to get it to work first.
HTH,
PS,
OSE - Open source edition
PUEL - Personal Use and Evalution License, which for binary only
parts of Vbox.

<font size="-1"><font face="sans-serif">Doh! Yes of course
that's why. What an idiot - I knew that (once!). So we can
forget that then. <br>
I now need to find out why the WinXP hosted on VBox cannot
find the printers in the ubuntu 11.10 host. I think it is
a permissions problem with cups because my other PC also
running Linux cannot now print either. It seems the access
to the printers has disappeared.<br>
Still baffled.<br>
