I did an update today which updated the kernel from 2.6.22.5-18-default to 2.6.22.5-29-default and it seems to have fixed this issue, ie I no longer seem to have issues connecting the printer to the virtual machine.Nikon Camera Control Pro 2.25.0 Latest Release software remotely controls most functions of Nikon digital SLRs from a computer that is connected via USB cable or though wired or wireless LAN using a wireless transmitter.
Hopefully this issue will be fixed in later revisions of VMWare Workstation, or in kernel updates. When I checked Removable Devices -> USB Devices again there was no memory stick, but to my surprise the printer was now there… I’ve messed around with this a little, and as long as I have the focus on the virtual machine, have some other USB device also attached, unplug the printer, leave the cable out for a few seconds and then plug it back in again, I seem to be able to connect the printer to the guest, although sometimes it takes a couple of goes. I plugged the printer back in, and then plugged the stick into one of the front ports. The USB connection I plug my printer into is on the monitor, so I wondered if plugging the USB stick into one of the ports on the front of the computer might make a difference. So I pulled out a USB memory stick, unplugged the printer and plugged in the memory stick. Not quite sure what to do next, I thought maybe I should try plugging in another USB device and see if it can detect that. I did a fair bit of searching on the Internet and couldn’t find any resolution, although it does appear that the location of USB devices may have changed between openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3, kernels 2.6.18 and 2.6.22 which may be causing the issue: VMWare isn’t sure where to pick the information up from.
