In most cases, you can ignore the Remove Printer Port button. When you add a virtual printer to
a virtual machine, Fusion adds a virtual serial port for the virtual machine. Fusion then uses the
serial port to communicate with the virtual printer. Selecting Remove Printer Port removes both
the virtual printer and the virtual serial port from the virtual machine.

Configuring the Network Connection
Configure and implement Fusion virtual networking components on your virtual machine to
connect to other virtual machines in your networking environment.
Fusion supports only Ethernet-based networking, but provides several options for connecting to
networks.
n A virtual machine can use NAT to share the IP address of your host system.
n You can configure a virtual machine to bridge to a specific network interface on the host
system. Fusion supports IPv6 in bridged networking.
n You can create a VPN that includes only the virtual machines on your host system.

of network connections.
