RE: [Xen-devel] Xen 2.05 - using printer (/dev/lp0) from a guest linux OS?

If it's a USB printer, you could try exporting it (exclusively) to the
guest using the new USB virtualization stuff.

If you want to share the printer between domains, use CUPS, LPRng or
Samba as you would for sharing a printer between physical machines.
