WMWare is great, I run it on my Linux box, and can choose a Windows XP session, at login. (In fact that is how I am typing this message.)
I am also running a HP deskjet 450 USB, on my Windows XP VM, as I had speed issues running it native from Linux, as a shared network printer.

Quote from: orbrey Wine is about the only way I could think of, though this is shaky with drivers due to the level of emulation required. As Chilly says, do you have the printer make and model number? It would be a lot easier to install dedicated linux drivers for this to work properly.
The printer is an Epson R200, do you know of any Linux drivers for it including the driver to print on cd media robrow

Quote from: chillypenguin Would Wine work? Is that more for running applications.

When in an XP session through VM, is your internet connection still through Linux? If so that is perhaps the answer. for both printer and scanner.

Needless to say I'm new to Linux, and the response I've had so far from this forum is very encouraging.
Thank you

Yes, the networking is handled by VMWare, which acts just like another computer on the network.

you'll find a cached Google page of how to install the Epson R200 to Kubuntu. The installation method will (probably) be identical to that of Ubuntu, and will differ very slightly from other Linux distrobutions. You probably wouldn't be able to print onto CD/DVD however.

Use CUPS to configure - you can use a web interface for this:-
http://localhost:631/ should do it.
