I am on a MacBook Air with Lion (10.7.2) as the host operating system. I have an Epson Workforce 630 printer connected wirelessly by way of my router.
I installed VirtualBox 4.1.6 and installed Windows XP sp3 as the guest system. So far everything seems to work fine with the exception of the printer. Going through the windows Add a Printer wizard does not list, see, identify, or install my printer. I know I'm not having trouble with windows identifying and logging into my router since I have been accessing the internet from the beginning with no setup at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas.
setting up printer on Windows XP guest?

Re: setting up printer on Windows XP guest?
Not necessarily true. If you are using the default settings you will be using NAT and the actual network equipment probably will not show up. Set the network to use Bridged and see if it doesn't find the printer then.I know I'm not having trouble with windows identifying and logging into my router since I have been accessing the Internet from the beginning with no setup at all.
