Hi,
Newbie: I tried the HOW-TO on printing from within a container http://wiki.openvz.org/USB_Printing_in_VE but when I restarted the container all the folders I created under the /dev folder in my CT 103 disappeared.

I am running CentOS 5.3 as the host and the container, which is running a samba server for file sharing and I want to add my printer to it for all my other PC's to use. I get the brother MFC-240c showing up in the results from lsusb on the host but I can't get anything to stick in the container after restart.

I presume that there is a hardware definition for the distribution that is rewriting the /dev folder each time it is started. But the tutorial just indicated that you go into the container and manually make the changes and the result would remain after restart.

How do I get the CT to retain the USB related details after restart?
Cheers,

Andrew
