Win 8.1 host with Win XP3 guest. I used VirtualBox to build the vm. I've got my legacy scanners set up but the printer (Epson Stylus Photo 2200) isn't seen by the vm. Not sure if setting it up as a networked printer to share between host & guest would work and how to do that. Printer is "seen" by the vm in the control panel and it says it's "ready". But it's not seen in the device mgr. Any ideas would be welcomed. I need to use my older scanners and printer with Photoshop for work and it's NOT working. Thanks.
