I have a printer connected to a desktop machine via USB. However, my laptop connects to that printer via Wireless through the wireless router. The laptop host (Ubuntu 20.04) communicates with that printer with no issues. (I did nothing specific to make that happen, as well as I can recall.) Now I want a Windows 2k guest on the laptop to connect to that printer. What is the way to do that?
If this sounds familiar, it is an old issue. I was unable to solve the issue when I was running an older version of Ubuntu, but I thought I would give it a new go since upgrading to 20.04. My previous method of dealing with this was to print to a file, then from the host pass the file to the printer. I can still do that, but it would sure be nice if the guest could send directly to the printer. In years gone by it did, but that broke some time ago; I do not recall the circumstances.
