VMware has taken each of my local printers and created a #:1, #:2, etc. version of them, then set the default printer to one of those. When I print to the new default, nothing happens. I need to print to the original printer for it to actually print.
Surprisingly, my network printers and virtual printers (CutePDF, XPS, etc.) are not duplicated.
Example:
HP Officejet 5600 series <-- original, local printer
HP LaserJet 4050 Series <-- another local printer
HP Officejet 5600 series#:1 <-- this one is the new default
HP LaserJet 4050 series#:2
HP Officejet 5600 series#:3
When I set the default to the original printer and delete the spurious printers, when I reboot, the same situation as above is recreated.
Anyone have a resolution to this?
Thank you,
