Because Fusion 11 and above only list the Install Virtual Printer menu item in the Virtual Machine drop-down menu when VMware Tools 10.3.x or later is installed in the virtual machine, you have to first install VMware Tools 10.3.x or later, then select the Install Virtual Printer menu item, and perform the steps that follow to install the VMware Virtual Printer application separately. If the VMware Tools instance in the guest was originally installed from a VMware Tools Operating System Specific Package (OSP) downloaded from the VMware website, not the bundled ISO file within Fusion, VMware Tools does not contain the VMware Virtual Printer functionality.You must install the VMware Virtual Printer application separately. Bundled VMware Tools versions 10.3.x or later do not contain VMware Virtual Printer functionality. If the VMware Tools instance in the guest operating system was originally from a bundled VMware Tools ISO file within Fusion 11 or later, the VMware Tools version is 10.3.x or later.You do not need to install the VMware Virtual Printer application separately. Bundled VMware Tools versions earlier than 10.3 already contain VMware Virtual Printer functionality. If the VMware Tools instance in the guest was originally installed from a bundled VMware Tools ISO file within a Fusion version earlier than Fusion 11, the VMware Tools version is earlier than 10.3.x.
