Re: Workstation 17.5 Virtual Printer

The big problem as I see it is that you have to install a printer in every single VM Workstation application - which in my case I have over 30 different applications!

Also there is another issue coming up - in older VMWare applications with an old operating system - like Win 3.1 or XP, I still was able to use the printer that was installed under the main system with 64bit drivers. That ship is now sailed, and those older system - which I still have to use for some applications - have no printer capability anymore

But the thing that really gets me is the fact that the system updated to 17.5 when I rebooted my machine & started VMWare, without any big warnings that you will loose a major feature. It took me hours to figure out whats happening and finally had to uninstalled VMWare all together and reinstalled Version 17.

I mean - I am a customer since more than 10 years and use VMWare for a long time plus upgraded & paid regularly when a new version came out, but this was a turning point!

And this happened while I was on a customers production site - Thanks VMWare!

After upgrading to Workstation 17.5 all my virtual printers are gone - I cannot print anything anymore!

I have multiple different VM Workstations, but all of them have the same problem.....

Any help?
