Hi,
i read the vmware player manual and it seems easy to install a new usb printer to virtual machine, but it's not.
I have windows xp as guest and windows 7 as host. The printer is a Kyocera fs-1120D (successfully installed on the host os).
Printer is installed in the Player Settings panel.
The usb printer is connected (from the Player > Removable devices menu )
When i plug-in the printer the guest OS new hardware found wizard start but it ask me for administator credential to install the new found printer (the manual doesn't mention that).
But even if i insert administration credential, the printer driver is not installed (i get an unknown drver error).
In the guest printers list i see a Kyocera fs-1120D printer followed by #11. But printing from it doesn't work.
The only way to print from vm is to send print to the #11 printer and then disconnect it from the player (removable devices> FS-1020D > disconnect).
Only after that the printer prints.
How can i solve this?
