Hi,
I'm trying to get Brother VC-500W label printer conneted to my Windows 2012 R2 server via Raspberry Pi 3+ and VirtualHere. I'm currently using the generic build with evaluation license.
VirtualHere server is installed on the Rasperry and client on the Windows 2012 R2. Client sees the printer just fine but when I click "Use this device", it briefly shows up as in use (and in the system devices) and then returns to previous state.
Server logs:

I also made the error of selecting Auto-Use Device, this caused infinite loop of the above and eventually client crashed when I tried to stop it.
Another, rather exotic Brother printer, the PJ-762 works just fine with the same setup, so this is USB-device specific issue.
.
In the virtualhere client right click on the printer and select "Custom Event Handler..." then paste in this line and click OK
onReset.$VENDOR_ID$.$PRODUCT_ID$=then press OK.
Now try again
Thank you, this worked! We
Thank you, this worked! We also tried to order a licence yesterday, but something went wrong. I'll send you an email about that.
