Question 1: How may I get VirtualBox to “recognize” the IEEE-1284 Controller or adapter that Windows-8.1 apparently found? My questions at this stage of my ultimate goal in this regard of getting a Compaq IJ300 printer working in openSUSE follow. I suspect that may be because it is not “recognized” and configured in VirtualBox. So far the “guest,” openSUSE operating system in VirtualBox has not configured the IEEE-1284 adapter.

In Device Manager it is apparently associated with “Universal Serial Bus Controllers, USB Printing Support” and “Other Devices, Lexmarkinkjet 4100” printer, although I myself do not have such a printer. In Windows 8.1 “IEEE 1284 Controller” appears in “Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Devices and Printers” when the parallel-to-USB adapter is connected to a USB port of my Dell Inspinotebook computer.

The “guest” operating system in VirtualBox is a 64-bit, openSUSE-13.1, Linux operating system. My “host” operating system for VirtualBox is 64-bit Windows 8.1. I need help getting a parallel-to-Universal Serial Bus (USB), Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers- (IEEE-) 1284 adapter to be “recognized” and later to be configured in Oracle Virtual Machine (VM) VirtualBox 4.3.6 r91406.
