USB DOT4 Printer not working in VMWare View 3.1.2.188

We are attempting to use an HP P3005 with a Dell FX160 running both View and Agent 3.1.2.188 (latest releases) and are running into what we are assuming to be tc to vm usb redirection issues. We have been using P2015s with success. We have to have the printer set up shared and name a specific way, so printer redirection is not an option, it has to be via USb redirection. So HP wants to install a DOT4 specific port on the vm during setup, rather than a standard virtual USB port. Printer installation finishes without error until we try to print a test page, and the test print fails. Has anyone found a resolution to this issue? I know this is specific, but kind of critical for our needs. Thanks for the help.

bump again, still having the issue...common occurrence now with most new HP Laserjet printers too. Maybe we should network all printers?

Did you ever end up getting this resolved? That's the one model I haven't been able to get working using a Wyse P20 and VMWare View 4.5 (Agent version 4.5.0.293049). Thanks.
