On my laptop, I have VB in Ubuntu 16.04 running Windows 2000. Before I changed my desktop computer and wireless router I could print from 2000. The printer is connected to the desktop via USB. The printer is also connected wirelessly to the new wireless Comcast Modem/router. I can print from Ubuntu on the laptop.
The long dialogue below is my attempt to show what I have tried to restore the printing capability to the windows guest. I hope that someone here might be able to direct me along the path to success.

SE for Mathsoft. (The second is associated with MathCad; of little present interest.) The first is the present printer when the the old desktop was in service. The 4630 is not shown to be listed under any port. Avail. ports are LPT1 - LPT3, Com1 - Com4, File, USB003, USB001. The driver is hp deskjet 990c series. This what HP recommends for using this new printer with old Win2k. It worked with the old desktop and router. It is not shared. I have tried Add Printer. Chose Network Printer. It cannot find it. Tried browsing; picking some names; no success. Chose Local Printer. It gives me that port list that does not have my printer listed. Tried create a new port; got lost in the questions. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
