[SOLVED] [Solved] USB connected GDI printer passthrough to Windows VM

[cmonty14]

Hello!

I have a GDI printer that is "blacklisted" on Linux.

Therefore I want to share this printer on a Windows VM where drivers are available.

Question:
If I connect the printer to USB port, how does Proxmox VE pass this printer to the dedicated Windows VM?

This functionality is available e.g. with VirtualBox.

From command line do
lsusb

write the ID in your memory

intercept the line of your usb device and put this in the
/etc/pve/qemu-server-VMID.conf

usb0: host=051d:0003

then

qm shutdown VMID
qm start VMID

Ciao
