>>>> The host machine runs Mint KDE v 10. The guest is Kubuntu 11.10. The printer is attached to the host machine by parallel cable. Is that relevant? Thanks Neil Ok, well there is still no way to attach the parallel port to the VM* so direct printing is completely out - as another reply also said, your best option is to expose the printer from the host machine via the network. CUPS, SMB/CIFS, IPP - whatever works best for you. As both guest and host are linux, SMB/CIFS probably isn't the best option. The cheaty way is still to just print to file/PDF/postscript or whatever on the guest machine and then transfer the printjob to the host OS, again via your choice of method - shared folders, SCP, NFS, whatever. Hope that helps, Mat * you could if you were using KVM/ESX 'enterprise' style virtualization tools and had VT-d hardware support but that's another story. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
