Setting Up a Printer in a Virtual Machine

There are three basic ways to set up printing in a virtual machine. You can:

  • Share any of the printers connected to your Mac computer via a printer port of your virtual machine.
  • Set up a printer via Apple Bonjour Printer wizard.

    Note: Apple Bonjour printer is available for Windows guest OSs only.

  • Use a network printer.

You can also connect a USB printer directly to your virtual machine. In this case, the printer will not be available to Mac OS X. For detailed information see Connecting USB Devices to a Virtual Machine .
