Windows XP Bluescreen when unplugging printer

Hi all,

I want to run an epson inkjet within my windows xp guest. my host has enabled usb 2.0, the USB flashdrive works without any problems. When I plug in the printer (works with the same drivers on a native windows xp!), it is recognized and the status monitor shows also the ink levels. Until I start printing. Then the ink level disappears and the status monitor hangs. The printer itself doesn't do anything, no LED blinks, no printing starts. When I shut down windows or unplug the printer I get a bluescreen in XP on usbuhci.sys

Interesting: When I switch off USB 2.0 and enable only USB 1.x in the host BIOS, everything related to USB is SLOW (usb flash drive, too!) but the printer works (also slow, but it prints).

Any ideas what could cause that behaviour? Comes up with kvm-88 and kvm-77 as well.

I tested it on two different systems both the same behaviour.

You might try this usb fix:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/qemu.git/commit/?id=c4c0e236beabb9de5ff472f77aeb811ec5484615

It's been around for a while but hasn't made it into any qemu or kvm releases yet.

Hi Jim,

sorry, still a bluescreen - but another one :-)
BUGCODE_USBDRIVER is its name.

Any other ideas? With USB 1.1 on the host everything is fine, after enabling USB 2.0 in BIOS on the host, USB is faster within the guest, but I have the given Bluescreen problem.

Best regards,

No ideas, sorry. It might be a Windows driver problem triggered by qemu timing differences (try reinstalling the printer drivers?) You might also try enabling DEBUG in usb-linux.c and compare the output you get there with a usbmon capture on the host, and a usbsnoopy capture on the guest, to see if there are any discrepencies. Not sure what kind of thing you'd be looking for, though.

Hm, what I forgot to say: Now the bluescreen comes up directly after trying to print, before it only appeared on unplugging or shutdown. And:
It seems to be a USB 2.0 issue. When I plug in a USB 1.1 printer everything is fine??

Can you recommend a usb sniffer tool? Hope this helps when getting a bluescreen :-)
