No Shared Printer Carried Through to Windows XP Pro

Hi all.

Running the latest version of VMware (2.0.2) and decided to share the printers from Mac to Windows XP (XP Pro SP3). Despite enabling the printer feature in settings I get nothing in Windows XP. I have restarted VMware and enabled while running. Still no luck. Rebooted a few times. No luck.Even removed the Serial Port and readded in VMware. Still no luck. At a loss now as to why this is not working. Printers I want to share are HP 2055DN and Lexmark C534N which are both installed Mac side. Can anyone help me with this? Am I missing something?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hey, check out the front page of this forum!! It has a note about the print sharing not working after the latest Apple security update.

Thanks for that. If anyone is interested I have also found out that you can install Apple Bonjour and add a printer that way too.
