| Vista home premiumx64 | Printing from Virtual PC Installed vpc 2007 on vista home premium. Currently running 98se on that. Running AutoCad2000 on that. Everything went seamless and operates perfect. I am sharing a folder with a USB storengo. Works perfectly. ....I would like to print to my hppsc1350 (which is usb connected) from AutoCad, but vpc doesn't support usb.... My machine has no parallel port installed (of which I read can be shared by the host and guest) Any takers?  |

I guess I will look into that (home user and computer "keeg"). I don't know if I need any hardware for that setup, but I suppose a place like Staples can set me up?  |

I think you've misunderstood what Steve said... To share a printer, you just use standard networking protocols, just like you would share any printer on any network - nothing to do with Virtual PC per se... The important thing to realise about virtualisation is that, apart from some very exceptional cases, the software (both OS and apps) installed and running on a virtual machine has not the slightest idea that it's running on a virtual machine - it has no need whatsoever to know that... Therefore, as Steve advised, simply share the printer on your host and connect to it with your guest just as if it were a physical machine - no additional hardware required... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |

I guess I'll get into the help section and do some reading up. I really appreciate the help. I know you guys could walk me through it, but I like to learn to fish, rather than have a fish given to me. If I have trouble I'll be back, though. At least I know where they're biting!Thanks again,eh. Oh, the vpc doesn't do anything but run my AutoCad for now. Internet is on the host. |

To aid your endeavours, just remember that this is not a Virtual PC question per se, so do a Google search for Windows printer share -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |

I have the printer icon showing it as shared on the host.I added a connection in the vpc, and had to install the driver for a Intel 21140 based 10/100mpbs (why it's mpbs I don't know. Shouldn't it be mbps?) Ethernet controller from the Win 98 cd. I can't find how to hook to the printer. But I sure get alot of options to connect to the internet. |
