I just did a quick test using W10 in Boxes on Fedora with my Canon
printer/scanner connected. In Boxes Preferences/Devices & Shares/USB
Devices, I enabled the printer. Then I scanned into IrfanView. Some
weekend I'll give this a try with my 18x12 scanner which has been
unsupported for a number of years.
