All you can do is to check whether you have access to internal network
using your VMware guest OS, use ifconfig/ipconfig/ping/tracerout to
identify this. If you have problems change your network settings to
NAT/Bridged. Make sure you have installed VMware tools in to your
guest OS which install required drivers depend on your OS. And if it's
network printer i don't see a difference accessing through host or
guest OS.
