I reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04 (64 bit). I the installed VirtualMachine
5.1, following all the instructions.
My existing virtual machine still does not let me print or scan from
within the achine. I the created a new VirtualMachine, installed XP
professional and had even less success since the machine does not see
any usb devices and does not let me install any.
Now that Xsane works I can scan files. I can print etc from Linux and
since all of the Home directory files are available in my original
VirtualBox I can do what I want, but not as conveniently as could.
I have decided that I will make do for now. Perhaps in the future Ubuntu
will have all that is needed to install VirtualBox , including usb
support. At my age spending 5 or 6 days chasing round these sort of
problems is not time well spent.
I wish to thank all of the people who have tried to help me.
