So in order to print to the printer from within the guest XP OS, I tried adding a network printer. I've tried various suggestions on the net to allow my USB host connections to show through on the guest machine but that didn't work.

(told you we would take a while to get here - sorry) I've installed XP pro on a VM Virtual box and the drivers and utilities for the Epson R300 including "Print CD" and the program runs fine BUT as it couldn't find the printer connected to the host on W8 I had to set that up manually on LPT1. however my printer then tells me to remove the CD tray and it simply wants to print to paper as normal. I've tried the solution offered by EPSON for the same problem when OS is VIsta - it says to 'click OK to the error message, choose tray 2, choose manual install, choose a4 for page size, in properties choose CD for the type of media' etc. I've even tried installing them in compatibility mode (xp sp2 xp sp3) and then also running the "Print CD" program using the same compatibility mode. I've been to ESPON site and downloaded different utilities and drivers from w8 back to win xp. "The EPSON printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed". But when you use the Epson Print CD software, when it comes to printing you get the message: The default drivers are fine for printing normally to paper.

I need to install drivers so as to print to my Epson Stylus Photo R300. I've just bought a quad core desktop with W8 on it. I'll do my best to keep this as short as I can but it's a bit complicated. I've never been here before and it's full of interesting stuff.


Thanks first of all for the most informative site.
