I have an Intel iMac using VMware Fusion & Windows XP, SP 2. I have a Canon MX870 printer operating on Wireless network. The Mac side works but the Windows side quit working and I can't seem to get it back.
What has changed on the Windows side? When running from within Fusion (virtual machine) it uses your OS X settings for wireless and printing. You can not setup a printer or other device the same as you would if you were running Windows stand alone.

Did you make a backup of your XP virtual machine? Fusion has an option to do that.... if you did make a backup (snapshot) just revert back to when it was working. Otherwise, try setting up the virtual machine for XP once more.
