VMWare can't see printers on Vista

[chelseatech]

I've got VMWare running on my windows Vista machine. That seemed to be the easist way to run some legacy apps on the new hardware. The virtual machines are all running Windows XP. My Vista machine is running Ultimate Edition, 64 Bit.

I've got some local printers declared on Vista, but can't seem to be able to connect to them on the VMWare machine.. As this used to work fine on my WMware machine when it ran on XP, I suspect some Vista security is getting in the way.

Can anyone help?

See what is setup in Vista's Network Sharing Center. Vista is a bit different from XP.
