Add printer to virtual machine

Post by BorregoLga »

Hi everyone.

Well let me explain the situation. I had a host computer with Windows 7 and Windows XP as a virtual machine. The printer that I want to install or add to the virtual machine is installed in another pc in the same network(5 pc in the network). So I don't know how to configure the virtual machine so I can add the printer from the network. I already use the option of "bridged adapter" but I can't access to the others computers.

Can you help me please...

You first need to set the other PC to share the printer. Then you add a network printer. Check for permission issues.
