Hi,
Istalled a new printer; set to default printer in VM configuration. Works, but something strange:

Im my VM everything is printed in landscape. Whatever I do. How to solve this?
(ofcourse the printersettings are set to portret and on mac-side it prints in portret)

I have PD 3.0 built 5608 (gonna buy 4.0 today)

thanks for the quick reply,

I guess I set it up to usb and install the whole bunch, cause I don't wanna use bridged ethernet. (I prefer to use shared networking)
 
Hi again

I changed my mind and want to try to set up a network printer. I am not able to do it though: I don't understand how exactly.
In the documentation-link you gave me I want to know how to accomplish this step:

3. "Continue an ordinary network printer installation." (the documentation on microsoft.com doesn't help)
I have no clue how to do this. I only get from "browse for printer"(guess I have to choose this option???) : microsoft windows-netwerk. Everything else I try (url adress printer?????) I get a red cross error.

Can you please help in clear steps how to set this up?
thanks
 
Hello,

You should go to Start menu -> Control Panel -> Printers and Faxes -> Add a printer
You will see Add new Printer Wizard. Click Next and choose A network printer.
Browse for a printer. The Wizard should find the printer connected to Mac (it should be switched on).
