Cannot print from a virtual machine?

Hello

I'm using VMware Workstation 7 on a Workstation Windows 7 Professional.

I have set up a virtual machine and fired successfully before.

When I start the virtual machine, it does not connect to the printer and I press OK.

When I press print in any application virtual machine, it shows that the document is printed.  I find that there is a print job in the queue of the virtual machine.  However, the State of the printer is "offline".

When I change unselect 'work offline', there is an error message saying "there is an error found when printing the document XXXX to USB001.  Do you want to start or cancel the job.

Is there something wrong?

Your opinion is requested.

Obvious questions

The printer is turned on?

You can print to the printer by OTHER computers via USB?

Have you done a realitiy check to make sure that the USB port is always enabled in the virtual machine?

Did you try to uninstall, reinstall the printer driver / printer port?

  • HP MFP M225: cannot print from my computer while receiving a fax

    We cannot print from our jobs while receiving a fax.  Just had a big fax that took 20 minutes to come through, our work was at a standstill because of this.  Have had other multifunction machines that we could print or copy when you receive faxes.  Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?

    Hi @spd9602,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! I understand you want to be able to use your HP LaserJet Pro colour M225 while she receives a fax.

    There is no setting or feature that you are missing. When a Fax is coming through, you cannot use the other features of the LaserJet printer.

    Even if you print a document, you would be unable to receive a fax or make a copy.

    One alternative may be scanning and sending larger documents then the LJ is not supported by a function for so long.

    I hope this helps!

    How to connect sql database to esxi to save all data from the virtual machine

    Please provide steps

    In simple terms, you cannot connect ESXi to SQL. Connect a vCenter SQL (Windows only).

    If you want to save all the data that is contained in your virtual machines, I suggest a backup solution.

  • Cannot print from Firefox 3.6.13

    Cannot print from Firefox. 3.6.13. says it's printing, but only a blank page comes out of the printer. Safari works fine, but I like Firefox. With the help of Mac 10.6.5.

    Probably caused by a Bug in Firefox, which is supposed to be fixed in versions of Firefox 4.0. Until Firefox 4 is out, my suggestion is to use the preview before printing and if the preview is empty use Safari to print this page. This extension will allow you to click right into Firefox and open the same page in Safari, so you don't have to copy' only paste the URL.

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air

    Hello

    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "the printer is not connected", but the display on the printer connected. I often reset the printer "EVERY TIME" I want to use. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer is not displayed on my selection.

    Hello boojoo1tw,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are unable to print most of the time with your Officejet 8600. How is the printer connected? USB or wireless? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.

    If your wireless printer, then I recommend the award of an 'IP address' by following this HP document on printer does not maintain the wireless connection.

    Please post your results, I'll be looking forward to hear from you.

  • Sorry this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine

    How can I solve this problem. I can not choose the option of Windows 8 and activate the button of Hyper-v. I try to get a game running on windows 7.

    Sure, I can. All first, open the settings of Bitdefender, antivirus and silence him Active Virus Control. After that, I was able to play games like Dead space 3, Kane and lynch etc. That is the question on Windows 7 for the warning to error: Sorry, this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine.

  • Cannot print from FSX w/acceleration, no further questions. Running Windows 7 64 bit.

    I have FSX w/acceleration installed for a few years now on my HP G71 dual core laptop and it works great, that I had no problem at all. It was my first attempt to print from it however. I wanted to print a flight plan, click on the "print" button and nothing happened. I went to the Panel, open Printers and devices, and my printer was there, online and ready without papers pending. I went to properties and even printed a test page, so I know that the issue is not with the printer. For some reason any FSX does not send the document to the printer. How can I remedy, which should look and where? Thank you in advance for any light that can be shared.

  • Cannot copy file to virtual machine host computer

    People,

    Hello. I use VM Player 3. My host computer is Windows 7 and VM is Oracle Linux 5. I used to copy files from the virtual machine host successfully machine. But now, when I copy a virtual machine host machine zip file, the error message appears:

    "Unable to write file in Virtual Machine.Aborting the copy file operation."

    The virtual machine's memory is 2 GB, and the file is about 900 MB. I think that there is enough memory to hold the file.

    My question is:

    Any folk can help solve the question above?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    To be able to copy this file in your virtual machine, you need about 2 GB of free space on the disk in the virtual machine on the disk that has the temp folder.

    The size of the RAM to the virtual machine is not really important.

  • You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

    Hello

    Only, I converted a physical blade to a virtual machine running on ESX4 using VMware converter 4. The converted virtual computer is running VMware server 1.0.5 and machines virtual option 2. After the P2V process, I am unable to power on virtual machines in VMware server. I get the following message:

    You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

    I see there are some entries that I can put in the vmx file

    monitor_control.vt32 = 'TRUE '.

    monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'TRUE '.

    However, this does not solve my problem. Is it possible to edit a VMX VMware Server so the virtual prompt runs in a virtual machine of ESX4

    Thanks in advance

    VMware Server 1.x does not support nested virtual machines.  Workstation 7 is the first product with the official support of virtualization nested, although other recent VMware products should work, with some constraints.  See nested running VMs.

  • HP Officejet 5740: Cannot print from Windows 10

    Since the upgrade to Win10 I can no longer connect and print from my Officejet 5740. Other machines / devices in the House (not Win10) can print very well. The printer always showed "offline". I tried to remove and re-add them, but it doesn't give me the 'DIRECT' option - I can get into my router wireless WPS PIN (by the other responses on this forum), but it says it cannot connect.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Nothing wrong with your printer, please DO NOT touch to him. To repair your computer, please download the software package and the following driver and install on your machine Windows 10:

  • Cannot turn on new virtual machines

    Hello world

    I am running ESXi 5.1.0 (1483097) on a server Dell PowerEdge T300 with 24 GB of RAM and a couple of terabytes of HARD disk space. I have a 64 GB SSD as my default swap file location. I'm unable to turn any VMs created on this server (has only one handful of other virtual machines running on it currently, not more than 4-8GB RAM each). When I try to turn on a new virtual machine, I get the following error:

    An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM <vmname>.

    Has no power on the virtual machine.

    Could not power on VM: insufficient resources.

    Cannot extend the pagefile to 32768 k k 93504.

    Cannot extend the pagefile to 32768 KB 94208 KB.

    There are lots of free RAM available, and I don't have in my pool only resource that all virtual machines live subject. I tried to set the location of the swap file VM to store data of the VM, but that has no effect. Any ideas?

    Hello

    you are indeed running out of space on your destination of swap - you have only 56 MB of free space on your SSD. You're also out of space for swap on datastore1 and 4. I suggest check it and delete all unnecessary data. Please note that by default without reservation, the VM creates a swap file that is equal to the size of RAM allocated to it. If the startup fails with swap on the hard drive, try quick vMotioning or cold - migrate the virtual computer to another storage. Also you could do a lot better with the free space by consolidating all your storage to a single VMFS volume.
