There’s a temptation to follow the instructions, and I yielded to it without a positive outcome. You most likely will see the following dialog box, which tells you that the cups service is stopped (a general occurrence when you upgrade from VMWare Fusion 1.x to 2.x). In this screen, click the Not Listed (because it should be an empty list), and then click the Forward button to continue. In the first screen click the Forward button to continue. You can click the Help, then Troubleshoot to further diagnose the problem. a gray scaled version indicates that you’ve run VMWare Tools before updating the Ubuntu OS CUPS service:Īs mentioned, this means there’s a problem with a disabled service – typically cups (Common Unix Printing Service). If you don’t, you’ll also see the following form. You’ll then see the following screen but not gray scaled. Click the System menu choice, choose Administration. In Sharing, you enable print sharing by chosing the network printer …Īfter you’ve enabled sharing on the Mac OS, you can take the following steps in Ubuntu:ġ.
You do that by launching System Preferences, then click on Sharing. The first step using a NAT network requires that you share you printer setup on the Mac OS. The only difference is that a bridged network doesn’t require you to share the printer on the Mac OS because it directly accesses it.
It has the benefit of working like you’d expect! It lets you print your native Ubuntu documents when you’ve configured the VMWare machine in NAT or bridged networking mode. It did work ineffectively in VMWare 2.x but it embedded characters in simple documents that shouldn’t be there. I tried it in both VMWare 1.x and 2.x but without any luck. I found that the standard printer in the virtual machine wouldn’t work.
Enabling cups printer interface for mac 2017 mac os x#
It is very easy to configure in Ubuntu running in VMWare on a Mac OS X machine.
Setting up printing is a step that goes with the operating system. As I mentioned before, working in the virtual machine is a great solution when you need to work in multiple operating systems.
