I am currently trying to somewhat future proof my parents' laptop. So far I installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, Virtualbox 6.1, Windows 10 pro 64bit as guest and the Corel Suite within the guest. Now I've hit a wall trying to install the driver for the Konica Minolta Magicolor 4650EN in Windows 10. The printer is plugged in via USB, both Ubuntu and Windows recognize it but Ubuntu couldn't find any compatible drivers. So I created a USB filter in Virtualbox, assigned the Magicolor to it and then tried several available Windows 10 drivers (PostScript, PCL6, PCL5 and I think PCL3 ) within the guest OS but no printing job ever reaches the printer. Sadly the error only says "Fehler beim Drucken" (error whole printing).
Is what I am trying to do even possible?
Am I missing something? If so what?
(I am not an Ubuntu expert so please assume a lot of ignorance on my part.)
Thanks for reading! Any suggestions?
