How can I connect a USB printer to Windows prompt automatically?

What I have:

HOST: OS X 10.9.3

CLIENT: Windows 7 Pro x 64

VMWare Fusion 6.0.4

Goal: Have the USB printer works both host and guest operating system

What I've done so far:

As redirection via VMWare did not work (redirect almost never done) what I did install NIC for windows in bridged mode and assign a static IP address. I selected for the USB printer be connected to Windows. In Windows I shared the printer and then in OS X connected to it. Printer prints very well two operating systems as you wish.

Problem:

If I turned off the virtual Windows machine then power on and it back on the printer does not reconnect automatically. In the "devices and printers" window of Windows, it shows as grayed out. I have to manually click Vitural Machine, USB and Bluetooth, < printer > connection. Once I did, it immediately connects and works correctly. Really want to make connection happen automatically when the virtual machine is turned on, but so far have not found a way to do it.

Thank you

Try Apple Hello Technique. It still works. Check that the USB printer is connected to your Mac and not the Virtual Machine.

  • How can I get my USB printer doesn't work?

    I am trying to install a Dell 3000cn laser printer in my computer. He started by putting a virtual printer in my control panel that would not print it had nothing on the Hardware tab, under its properties and real hardware was still on the list of unknown devices in the bottom.  I removed both and removed the driver and tried to install the printer before I plugged it in which does the same thing as before so I went into the Device Manager and there was no printer listed. I've uninstalled the usb printer support and removed everything that are associated and tried. Now I get support of usb error has a printer driver problem.

    I tried to support the customer of Dell they got hung up, I tried Windows customer, they want me to pay.
    I've exhausted the research online and can't find 5 people with the same question online all back in 2008 to 2010 which was never resolved.

    How can I get the USB printer to work?

    Generally, printers do not appear in Device Manager.  You will see, however, registrations for "IEEE 1284.4 devices ' or ' IEEE 1284.4 compatible printer" in particular for HP printers.  It is possible that your Dell printer is really a re-badged HP.

    What exactly did you delete when you have uninstalled the "usb printer support '?

    Please provide the full error message text that you do when this error.

    Why do you think you had a 'virtual' printer is installed?

    Click Start, click devices and printers.  What are the items in the category 'printers and faxes '?

  • How can I connect a USB 2.0 device to a port 3.0 successfully?

    my printer has a USB 2.0 connector and my computer has USB 3.0 ports; Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday it was working, but now it does not work. I have a document in the queue that was never printed, and I can't remove the document, not even restart my computer.

    Is that what I can do to work around this problem?

    LC

    It's probably not a 2.0 > 3.0 issue because 3.0 is backward compatible.  More likely, it's a driver problem.

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged.  Re-install a new copy should help

  • How can I connect vista (2007) from the window of my LCD Samsung 52 in.? Not tried vista tv VGA no luck!

    I tried connecting according to microsoft instructions and no luck, I've done so far - haven't tried to do wireless no luck. Then I got a VGA cable and an audio cable (3.5) and the two TV (2009 Samsung 52 in.) and windows (2007) have both connections, but when I go from source to TV on PC it says still no signal. I went to control panel, then appearance and there are also two screens showing one is labeled number 1 and the other is the number 2 so I guess that TV should be number two, I was told that I have to change the resolution of the TV to get the signal from the PC, but when I try to change the resolution After clicking on apply nothing happens (and yes I am using a left click hold in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to adapt it) but TV shows still no signal.

  • How can I connect the new installation of Windows 7 for the user profiles on a separate drive har?

    Original title: connect Windows 7 to the output of user profiles?

    I want to reinstall Windows

    My user profiles are on a separate HARD disk
    Is it possible to connect the new install of Win 7 to these existing profiles
    Or I'll create all new profiles and just move all the files manually?

    You can change the registry so that it points to your old profile folder. However, I suspect that this would cause problems because the SID and many registry keys would be incorrect for the current installation. I would like to move the folders manually.

    Have you read the manual of the printer?  Have you contacted HP?

    Generic help is all that we can give you.  You better go to HP, BUT the first thing you need to do is to install the printer driver.
