I never thought about going into the virtual machine window and choosing connect printer port. This may be why it is not functioning correctly. And come to think of it, I never heard the new hardware sound from Windows when I connected it. Not even after I chose Windows from the choices when VoiceOver asked me which system I wanted to connect to. Thanks for everyone’s input on this. I wish Enabling Technologies would not just take the easy way out and say the only way they know to connect is through Boot Camp. That sounds like a copout. > On Nov 23, 2014, at 10:00 PM, Juliette Swiler <[email protected]> wrote: > > Should I have chosen Windows or Mac for this? >> On Nov 23, 2014, at 3:11 AM, Roland Zitzke <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> 100% agree! >> I use VMWare Fusion myself running windows 7 and I am working with unusual >> USB devices quite a lot.
