Printer

In the settings for Windows guests in VMware Fusion there is an option for sharing a host printer. Why isn't there a similar option for Mac guests?

Hi lensv,

There is no support for thin-print in Mac OS X guest, but you can add the printer in the VM manually.

It would be convenient to have a "Add Device ..." selection.
