Installing Printer Drivers while in WIndows VB

Post by Terrence »

Host OS is Linux Mint 10, Guest OS is Windows Home Premium. When I try to load the printer drivers from my Brother CD while in Windows VB, the auto run feature does not work--and I am unable to find the appropriate file to manually start the installation. I believe I have installed all the necessary Guest Additions to this. What am I missing?

Guest settings -> storage -> CD/DVD -> set the CD/DVD to use passthrough.
