Hi Jimbo,
I'm trying to follow your advice: "install the printer on the vm and then share it. On the Windows 7 machine -- as you don't have a driver for it you''ll have to define the printer as a [COLOR=#0072BC ! important][COLOR=#0072BC ! important]NETWORK [COLOR=#0072BC ! important]printer[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]...Then define this as your default printer."
I've created my XP VM, but I'm having trouble telling Windows 7 to add it as a shared printer.
How do I tell Win7 to use a VM as a network printer sharer? From "Add a Printer" ... what steps do I take from there? Do I have to do anything special to the printer in the guest (XP) OS, apart from making it "shared"?
Using VMware Player 3, should I use bridged, NAT, host-only? Should I be investigating the Unity feature?
Thanks exceedingly much,
Will
