In VMWare Workstation 8, can I print from DOS guest to Windows 7 host's XPS Writer or similar soft printer?

Question

VMWare insists on connecting virtual printer in guest to the serial port and naturally nothing works. Windows allows assigning legacy LPT1 port but it exposed only to DOS on the host and VMWare complains about missing physical port.

Answer 1

No, not to the hosts XPS printer, but you can print to a XPS or DPF printer on the guest.
