Hi Drew,

You can install your VM additions printer after you deleted it by going to:

1. Start
2. printers and faxes
3. add a printer
4. choose a local printer (uncheck "automatically detect and install my plug
and play printer)
5. choose LPT1:
6. from the left pane (manufacturers), choose "microsoft"
7. from the right pane (printers) choose VM Additions Printer

done!

P.S. uninstalling and re-installing the additions works too. The former
method take less time, however.

Hope this helps!
