Hi guys,

I have a little problem, one of the user has a new usb hp PRINTER installed on her desktop and is shared. When she RDP (PNP enabled) to a virtual machine she can't see the shared printer and therefore can't print. The new printer has wireless capabilities with usb, not NIC. We have a C network.

We purchased a network usb server with a switch connected both of them and installed the cd from the usb print server but the ip embedded has 169.254.10.2.

Could it be that the usb print server is not COMPATIBLE with our network (C)?

Is the usb print server for home use only?

Do you have any ideas or solutions?

Thanks in advanceThere is some information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base that USB printing can bring problems into a network.

Makers that SELL all-in-one printers recommend the printer be networked either wireless or Ethernet, but not a share using USB.

That is the limit of my knowledge. Wireless printing is so easy, it is hardly WORTH the effort to resolve the USB issue. IMHO.
