OK I see I am going to need to restate what I am INVESTIGATING.
Let us assume an OpenSUSE 10.2 box is setup with a parallel Epson Stylus
800+ printer attached to it. A browse on www.linuxprinting.org shows
that the 800 works perfectly but no mention is made of the 800+.
A VM on OpenSUSE runs Windows XP.
The attached printer is known to work with Windows and so is configured
on the VM OS to work from the Windows OS VM ie a printer is setup on
Windows.
Can both the VM OS and the base OpenSUSE OS use the VM OS printer if:
1. The printer only works using Windows drivers
2. CUPS is setup to forward print requests to the VM OS to print, if it
can be?
So the questions asked are:
1. Can the base OS(OpenSUSE) use the VM OS printer?
2. Can CUPS be configured to print to/forward print requests to a VM OS
printer?
Now, what say ye?
P.S: Thanks both M Harris and Eberhard Koloff for their ealier replies

Please see above for a better explantion of what I am investigating to
do., if the printing hardware requires it.
