How to print from guest VB

Post by Free Spirit »

I am a little dense when it comes to Technology, so be gentle with me please. I have an IMac with OS X 10.7.5.... I have a virtual box 4.2.6 running Windows XP Pro. I have just installed a brand new wireless printer MFC-J6710DW. It works fine from the Host (Imac) but I cannot get it to work from the Guest (VB Win XP pro). I have software that I use for my work that isn't available on a Mac and so need to print from it using VB. Any ideas or solutions that a simpleton such as I am, can understand...?
Thank you in advance...

Make sure that you are using Bridged instead of the default NAT. See chapter 6 in your VirtualBox users manual.
