Summary:A method and system for printing from a guest operating system that executes in a virtual PC. In the guest operating system, a special printer driver (or extension to an existing printer driver) is installed. The printer driver receives print data from the guest operating system and applications that execute therein. The printer driver or an extension thereof forwards the print data or data derived therefrom to a host component that executes in a host operating system. The host component forwards the print data or data derived therefrom to the normal print mechanisms within the host operating system.
