Upgrading to 16.04

[Peter]

I have upgraded my machines to ubuntu 16.04 64 bit.   I have two 
machines that use VirtualBox to run some windows programs.

The virtual machines are running Windows XP, Office XP and some other 
software.

Previously in 14.04 I was able to scan and print documents from within 
the VirtualBox.

Now , while the settings for the virtual machine show the usb ports and 
the scanners and printer connected to them, the scanner does not appear 
in the windows scanner part of control panel. The printers do, but all 
attempts to print fail on all three printer.

All three printers and the scanner work using Linux.

Can anyone suggest what  I need to do?

Should I drop the virtual machine and recreate it?

Thanks in advance
