USB Forwarding from OS X to Windows 7

$

Hi there,

 

I have a problem with the following setup. I'm using a Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) with an installed VMware View 1.7 (also tried VMware Horizon Client 3.2.0) to connect to a remote Windows 7 via PCoIP protocol. I don't have access to the Windows 7 VM and the admins there aren't a big help with the Mac OS X client.

 

Not long ago I could easily forward my USB printer to the Windows 7 machine and everything worked flawlessly. Then, I think it was after the upgrade to OS X 10.9.5 (around September 17, 2014) the USB forwarding stopped working. Every time I connect to the Windows 7 machine I only get the error that USB forwarding didn't succeed.

 

A look into the system.log showed no problems. I also checked the permissions of the filesystem root / as this seemed to be a problem for many users after a system upgrade - but they where fine. Only the USB arbitrator logs showed some difference. Old logs showed all USB devices (Apple Cam, Printer, etc) whereas new logs don't list the devices.

 

Is there a way to debug why the USB arbitrator doesn't seem to find the connected devices? Maybe some kind of command line parameter to get a list of detected devices or an error code. From time to time it seems to get the devices as a log from January 5, 2015 shows.

 

Best regards

Sven
