Re: Printing under Xy4/VMware/W2K/Win 7/8

Bill,
I, too, am extremely pleased with VMWare as a solution for running
16-bit software on my 64-bit Windows 7, but in my case I decided on XP
(I had a legitimate disk so no cost) for running NotaBene9 (still
waiting for final version of 10 before I abandon version 9). In my
case, I opted to install all the VMWare tools as well, so that my
virtual XP uses the printer of the host flawlessly; I also do use the
host's internet for my XP installation. I agree with you that for most
people VMWare Player (the free version) is better than VirtualBox for
most people simply because it integrates with the host system so well
for all drives, scanner, printer, internet, screen, etc., and cutting a
pasting seems less cumbersome than having to set up network drives.

Just my two cents,
