    Printer driver via virtualbox

    My Dell V105 has no driver for Linux but works fine under Windows Vista.
    Is there a smooth way to automatically print from Ubuntu by using the Windows driver in a VM, seamlessly, perhaps?

    Loading up the VM and printing through a Windows application is a bit clunky.

    Thanks

    If I understand what you're trying to do, I think the short answer is "no". What you want is to run, say, gimp in ubuntu and when you want to print something, it goes to the printer via the Windows VM, is that right?

    I'm afraid you've already got the only solution.
