First the two of them have to have some network connection. "Host Only" or "Bridged". Then you'd access the host's printer the way that you'd do it if you had two networked Macs.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

THank you , thank U,

It works great. Now if I can get rid of the two cursors (mouse arrows) I'd be a happy camper.

Legacy is a bitch

Thanks again
