If I was to use this, I cannot install the parallel print driver on the Win 7 computer as it doesn't exist. I would have to install it in the XP VM so, I am assuming that the printer would still have an IP address that I could access from Win 7?

Thanks @ Chris - have not investigated the server idea @ XWB - I have drivers for XP and have installed XP Mode on one of the machines. In the XP VM I installed the printer and it shows as being on LPT 1 but it also shows as not available and won't print a test page to it This is where I am...

Hey Linny Have you tried stopping all sharing on Computer A, rebooting "A", recreating sharing on Computer A, and rebooting once more? YES If you look at Computer Management on "A" (right-click on the Computer Icon and select Manage), what do you see there under Shared Folders? I see all...

It is currently Home. I tried changing it to Work but I know that it does not make any difference. It is not a Public situation an I didn't bother to try it
