Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / March 2007WiFi Printer sharing Virtual PC 6.1
I use my Powerbook Titanium G4 (400 mz) to do work at home, using my Wifi router to access my Epson inkjet using printer sharing. The router uses ethernet to acc acceses an iMac, which is attached to the printer via USB. I recently obtained a copy of Virtual PC 6.1 so that I could complete my migration to OS X (10.3.9). I was hoping that I could print documents from Windows 98 SE on VPC through the Powerbook Belkin Wifi card and the home network described here. Should this work? Do I need to install the Belking Wifi driver onto Windows 98 itself? > I use my Powerbook Titanium G4 (400 mz) to do work at home, using my > Wifi router to access my Epson inkjet using printer sharing.

One thing you don't want to do is install drivers in Windows. A virtual machine (VM) in VPC will never have a wireless NIC, only the emulated Intel 21140. You can use or share the Mac's network connection though. Depending on how your printer is shared on the network, Windows 98 may be able to see it. The first thing set up is simply your networking for Windows, make sure it can see the network/Internet, then try connecting to the printer. You'll need to use the Virtual Switch option in VPC instead of Shared Networking though. |
