USB Scanner

[frantek]

Hi,

finally I've tried to connect a USB scanner to a KVM VM. I've done so by adding

hostusb: 04a9:1606

to the VMs conf. The scanner is detected by Windows XP and at first it seemed to work. It scanns but then "CapturePerfect" hangs for ever.

lsusb reports:

  Bus 002 Device 005: ID 04a9:1606 Canon, Inc.

and "info usb":

  Device 0.2, Speed 480 Mb/s, Product CANON   DR-5010C

and "info usbhost":

Found no solution, but thanks to a hint by Martin I was able to work this around and wrote a wiki page about how to work this around:
