Printing to Shared Printer - Linux Guest on XP host in VMware

Asked by richard_mcloughlin in Linux Printing

Tags: printer, linux, vmware, xp, shared

Need assistance in accessing a printer share on a LAN.
Everything works fine using XP natively on the LAN.
Problem arises on setting up printing on a Linux guest - XP host with VMware workstation (or VMPlayer).
No-where can I find as reference to setting this up - either in VMWare User Manual or VMware Guest Manual.

Computer A - Linux guest (Xubuntu) on XP-Pro host with VMware Workstation
Computer B - XP-Pro native with HP-DJ1200 printer share

Computer A needs access to Computer B printer share

VMware Workstations seems silent on making the hookup...  Nothing in the online documentation or in the groups that I have found.

I have graded the question as Difficult given the situation and apparent lack of information available plus the info has got to be out there...!

Would appreciate any guidelines or assistance

Regards - Fran
