[Qemu-devel] Qemu and USB scanner

[Martin Piovarci]

Hi,

I have just one question.
Is it possible to access from QEMU virtual system physical devices like
USB scanner? Or is ii planed to implement something like this in the
near future?

I have a problem using my Canon Canoscan Lide 80 scanner on my linux
machine because there are no drivers for it on Linux. It is planned some
support from SANE Genesys Backend but there is no schedule for it.

My idea was to install scanner on QEMU virtual system and use it there
and than transport all scanned files on the quest machine.

Thanks for your answers.

Kind Regards,

Martin Piovarci
