VMware Fusion, the virtualization solution for Mac OS X, has just released a new update bringing it to version 2.0.3. This is a maintenance release, but VMware Fusion 2.0.3 resolves driverless printing issues and adds experimental support for guests of Apple's upcoming OS, Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard. This is a free upgrade for all VMware Fusion 1 and VMware Fusion 2 customers, and offers the following enhancements and fixes for critical customer issues:
- Resolves an issue where driverless printing stops working for users that run Mac OS X 10.5.6, and installed Apple Mac OS X Security Update 2009-001. The shared printers would disappear from Windows. If you configured your printer differently as a workaround, turn on driverless printing feature again by clicking Virtual Machine > Settings, selecting Printers, and selecting the Enabled check box.
- Provides experimental support for Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server as a guest operating system. You can now run the current Snow Leopard Server builds (32-bit kernel) in a virtual machine.
- Resolves an issue with driverless printing, where the Enabled check box on Virtual Machine > Settings > Printers might get deselected automatically.
