Hi Seaavee,
-You receive an error message during the installation of printer?
However, there are several methods that you can use to make a printer available to a virtual machine. You can use the methods are affected by the question of whether a printer driver is available for Windows 7 and the printer is a local USB printer or a network printer. You can also use the XPS format when your computer is configured to support this method of printing. This scenario describes all of these methods.
To share a local USB printer:
Note: this method is appropriate when the printer driver is available for the Windows 7 host operating system and the guest operating system. Just do these steps once per virtual machine. This procedure assumes that you have checked that the printer works in the host operating system.
- Make sure that the printer is turned on and that the printer driver is available for installation. For example, you can install the driver on the internet or on a CD.
- Connect the printer to the virtual machine. In the virtual machine window, click USB and then click Attach-device name.
- Install the printer driver in the guest operating system. You can install the driver on the internet or on a CD.
- Release the printer of the virtual machine. In the virtual machine window, click USB and then click publication-name of the device.
- Restart the virtual machine. In the virtual machine window, click Action , and then click restart.
- Navigate to the desktop of the virtual machine and log in if necessary. (You will be connected automatically if you have saved the credentials.)
- The printer will be available for use at the time the host operating system and the guest operating system.
To set up a printer for a virtual machine network:
- Navigate to the desktop of the virtual machine and log in if necessary. (You will be connected automatically if you have saved the credentials.)
- Open Control Panel, and then open Printers.
- Click Add a printer. The Add Printer Wizard opens.
- In the local page or network printer, select the network printer option and complete the wizard.
If you run Windows XP as a guest operating system, you must manually install the printer driver for each printer you want to use. The following steps describe this process.
To install a printer driver in Windows XP:
- Click Startand then click Printers and faxes.
- Under printing tasks, click Add a printer. The Add Printer Wizard opens.
- In the local page or printer network, select local printer attached to this computer and clear automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer.
- On the select a Printer Port page, click the drop-down list control and select one of the TS number ports, and click Next.
- Install printer software page, select Windows Update or the disk and complete the wizard.
To print from a virtual machine:
1. go in the desktop of the virtual machine and log in if necessary. (You will be connected automatically if you have saved the credentials.)
2. do one of the following:
· From the desktop of the virtual machine, right-click on a file, and then click print.
· Open any application that includes a print option, and then use the print command.
3. all printers available on the virtual machine are listed. Select a printer, and then click OK.

Can I install a printer in XP Mode XP driver? If so, can I use Win 7?
In my home network, I have a printer Minolta QMS Magicolor 2200. A 64-bit for this printer printer driver is not available. I have a Dell with Windows 7 Pro computer and I installed Windows XP Mode. Installation of XP to Win 7 printer driver may damage the computer. Is it possible to install the driver in XP Mode XP, without damaging the computer? If possible, it is possible to use this printer Win 7 driver?
You should be able to install the printer in XP mode, if XP can connect to the device via a serial port or USB port. A parallel port might work as well, but I've never tried myself so no way for me to say with certainty. But no, Windows 7 will not be able to use the printer because you still need Windows 7 drivers for print to the printer, even if it is shared on the network of the virtual machine.
