How do I install wireless printer on Linux Mint Cinnamon (guest) and Windows 10 host)? Printer works on Win 10.
Do I use samba, cups or something else? WiFi is working (to Internet) is already working (via Verizon router). Do I have to enable NAT in VBox? Which one of the options listed in the attached picture would I use? Do I need the ip of the printer? How to find it?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Bridge the VM to the same network the printer is visible on. Beyond that the VM is just another PC on the right network, and further configuration details can be found in the printer user manual.

I have no idea what all this means, but I enabled Adapter 2 as 'Bridged' and now I could see and install the w/l printer.
