CHAPTER 5 Setting Policies and Customizing VMware ACE

Easy Printer Setup Policies
Select Easy printer setup to specify whether to give end users access to a command
that simplifies printer setup for a Windows virtual machine.
Select Enable Add Printer command to provide an Add Printer item on the VMware
ACE menu. End users can use this menu item to set up a printer available on the host
for use in the virtual machine.
Easy printer setup relies on network printer sharing. If you set network quarantine
policies and want to enable easy printer setup, you must also enable printer access on
the Traffic panel of the Network Quarantine Wizard. For details, see Setting Network
Quarantine Policies on page 85.
Some special steps may be necessary if your end users need to connect network
printers to their virtual machines. For details, see Easy Printer Setup Policies on
page 227.
Note: Printer sharing is not supported in Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. As a
result, the easy printer setup feature does not work on a host computer running
Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.
