do i need to configure usb printer in disposalVM? to print from there

[jer...@disroot.org]

i just configured a usb printer, by going to devices tab (can be accessed through start menu > in your appvm clicking add more shortcuts), moving the printer to the selected area....
printer is not recognized in the disposable vm only... (when right clicking it > open in DisposableVM)

How did you connect the USB printer to your dispVM? Did you use qvm-usb to
attach it? You'd need to do at least that first.

which vm do i attach it to (for example fedora-23 or debian-8)
using the command qvm-usb
so usb printer will dispay in disposablevm when right clicking a file and opening in dispVM

note: i don't know how to comment to the original theard, i've tried clicking reply button, it didn't respond in the original thread

It doesn't work like that. If you want to print from a dispVM, you'd need
to qvm-usb attach the printer straight to the disposable VM, like "disp5"
or whatever.

also make sure to install the drivers in the dispvm's template.
