Fusion 5.0.2 Pro forgets printer prefs

I'm using Fusion Pro 5.0.2 and I have to set my printer preferences each time after a restart of the Win 7 VM. I'm using this color laserjet also as my default printer for OS X, and OS X remembers the printer preferences perfectly.

Is there any fix to this issue?

Shut down your vm

Go to vm settings > printer

make sure that printer sharng is enabled

ensure that Share Mac printers with Windows is turned on

now, if you want to synchronize the setting done on mac in VM , choose Match the default printer selected on the Mac.

If you want to choose a different printer as default in vm, you must disable this option
