Hi Dennis,
I've never tried what you are doing, but printing from vmware to network printers works great. I'd suggest picking up a old, cheap JetDirect 500X off ebay. It lets you plugin 3 parallel port printers and provides a standard 10/100 port.

I'm beginning to think working with Linux requires a bit of a masochistic streak.
I am running SuSE 9.1 Pro on a Pentium 4 3.2G with 2Gb RAM and yada yada yd=ada.
I installed VMWare Workstation 4.5.X Than installed Windows 2K
I have managed to tweak everything to work inside the guest os
EXCEPT
Printing!!!!!
The printer is an HP 4050 connected via parallel port.
Everything I have tried does not let Windows print and in several cases stopped me from printing in Linux. I need to be able to print from both.
I have done google searches, been on the VMWare site and SuSE with only one possibility I can see.
I need to use Samba to share out the printer via the VMWare pseudo network. but I know next to nothing about Samba.
Would someone walk me through how to do it?
Thanks
Dennis
