Hi, I have just upgraded to VMware Workstation 12.5.6 on Windows 7 64 bit: when I start a virtual machine, I get this error:
"serial0: Unable to launch virtual printer proxy"

I found a similar topic here:
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/518809
but the suggested solution (add printers.enabled = "TRUE" to "%programdata%\VMware\VMware Workstation\settings.ini") doesn't work.
Thanks for reporting this issue. We are aware of this issue now. Please uninstall Workstation 12.5.6, and install again to workaround this issue. Thanks!
Hi,
I have exactly the same Problem with Workstation Pro 12.5.6 on Windows 7 x64 Pro.
And the line printers.enabled = "TRUE" is in the Settings.ini as well.

Hi, thanks for your confirmation.
So, I guess it's a VMware Workstation bug.
Thanks for reporting this issue. We are aware of this issue now. Please uninstall Workstation 12.5.6, and install again to workaround this issue. Thanks!
Thank you very much - it works! Uninstalling 12.5.6 and reinstalling worked exactly as you said. No error message while starting a vm with activated ThinPrint anymore. Thank you!
Uninstalling and reinstalling worked for me, too. Thanks!
