Printer problems Linux guest

$

I am back with another newby question regarding why I can't get my network printer to work. Just to put you all in the picture I am running Win7 host and have 2 VMs so far - one is Zorin 5.2 and the other is Win7 - The Win7 guest prints no problem to my network printer (attached to a WinXP laptop) but nothing I have tried works for Zorin - is there a specific way to get a linux guest to see and connect to a windows network printer? I have tried for about 2 weeks and have run out of ideas and options.

 

I believe now that it is a network problem rather than a printer specific issue - as I cannot browse the PC the printer is attached to in any way.

Message returned is often something like : Unable to mount location...Failed to retrieve share list from server.

 

Any ideas on what to try next....

 

Peter
