Hello all,
Please try setting the printers in the following way:
In Mac System Preferences open Print & Fax and make sure that the printer you want to use is enabled and you can print from it. Check Share this Printer.
Launch your Virtual Machine, start Windows. On Control Panel choose Printers & Faxes. Add a printer.
On the second page of the Add Printer Wizard choose A network printer.
Then check Connect to this printer and type \\your computer IP address\your printer name.
To find out your computer IP address open Terminal on your Mac side (Applications -> Utilities) and run ifconfig command. Copy the address you get in en0 section, inet line. The printer name you type should be exactly the same as the name indicated in Printing tab of Print & Fax window. The Wizard window will look like Picture1 attached beneath.
Click Next. The message preventing you about the printer driver installation will appear (Picture2). Click OK. For the next message (Picture 3) click OK again. Then Add Printer Wizard will ask you to select the manufacturer and model of your printer (Picture 4).
If you can not find the right model in the list, download the driver for your printer from Inet or find the drivers on the disk delivered with the printer. When the driver is downloaded, click Have Disk... button in the Wizard and browse for the driver. Click OK.
When the Wizard has done the work, you will have the printer added and will be able to print using this exact printer.
Best regards,
Xenos
