I'm attempting to set-up a CUPS print-server in a KVM VM guest that
uses a printer attached to the host.

The host is SL6 and the guest is SL6.1 Beta.

I have installed kmod-lp in both host and guest.

When I print a test page the CUPS web interface shows the job then
completed however there is no output at the printer.

Setting up CUPS on the host (something I wanted to avoid) and it works fine.

Below is a snippet from the guest VM XML definition.

Any ideas why it wont work in a VM?
