Printing from Virtual PC2007

Message:

My host PC is networked and running Windows XP Professional. I have
installed Windows Server 2003 with Office 2007 on my guest PC. I have been
trying to find out how I can print to a networked printer from my Virtual PC
but have been unsuccessful. All the articles that I found do not work for me.

Can someone assist me?

Thanks.

Well, the obvious way is to have the host share the printer on the network. Did
you try that?

But one problem you may have is that many consumer level printers do not have
drivers that work with Server OS's (or 64-bit OS's).

Oops, I misread your post. I thought the printer was attached to the host.

news:(email address - cut out)...

You would set up a network printer on your guest operating system in exactly
the same way as you would set up a network printer on any other machine
(physical or virtual) connected to your network...

Is your virtual machine in the same workgroup / domain as your host?

Can you print from your host to the networked printer? If so, how are you
connecting to it?
