Can't connect to host printers V12.5

I have a problem with using the host's printers from the gust OS in WS V12.5. In previous versions, I have had no problems. However in V12.5 I cannot get it to work. My host OS is Win 7 Pro and the guest OS is also Win 7 Pro. I have added printer to the guest VM settings and have also enabled virtual printers in work station. However when I try to connect to the host printers, I get an error message "serial0: Unable to launch virtual printer proxy: The system cannot find the file specified."

Can someone help here?

If you did an upgrade, uninstall and re-install Workstation Pro seems to be the workaround according to this KB.
