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.

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>
