VMWare Fusion 13.5 Printer Sharing with Sonoma 14.4.1

Running Windows XP SP3 on VMWare Fusion 13.5 on and Intel Chip MacBook Pro with OS Sonoma 14.4.1 and have printer (HP Color LaserJet 2025dn, driver version 10.4) connected via Airport Express. Printing works fine from Mac OS. Fusion Settings NAT, hardware version 21, Internet sharing with my Mac.

Can't print from the VM Windows XP from any to its applications. Have tried installing printer from within Windows XP. Read from the application notes on Fusion 13.5 that ThinPrint no longer is used and should try to connect via wireless but can't figure out how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

You may find using a Windows based PDF printer extension and setting up file sharing with the Mac OS environment to send the PDFs work best.

Very few companies depend on XP SP3 any more, so finding older software that runs on it is going to be very difficult.

is where you might get some good support for VMWare.
