MAC printers are not available on Windows 7 VM.

MAC printers are not available on Windows 7 VM on Fusion 12.2.1.  Printers are working fine on Windows 10 VM.  Windows 7 printers were working fine before creating the new Windows 10 VM.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled the full VMWARE Fusion 12.2.1 and reinstalled tools and thin print.  Also updated MAC to Monterey.  Network adapter is set to Bridged on both VMs.

Second issue - network connections are lost on wake from sleep mode.  I have to restart the MacBook Pro to get network connections back.

Update.  Got the printers working.  Completely deleted the VMWare Tools on the WIN 7 machine.  Completely deleted the VMWare virtual printer software using Add/Remove programs.  Reinstalled VMWare Tools.  Reinstalled VMWare virtual printer software.  Mac printers came back but would not print.  Deleted the printers in Windows Devices and Printers.  Restarted the Win 7 machine.  It reinstated the printers and they all work.

 

I'm still having issues holding network connectivity.
