I don't know if this will help anyone, but if anyone is running Windows 
10 x64, there is a new feature addition to Windows 10 called "Windows 
Subsystem for Linux" ("WSL") that you can enable, & then install (free) 
Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store: 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

The install is absolutely trivial.  Ubuntu 16.04 & 18.04 distributions 
are available, but I've installed Debian, & run some fairly complex bash 
scripts without a problem.

That having been said, WSL is supported & primarily intended for running 
command-line programs, although some have been able to run a Linux GUI 
on it:

All that having been said, I have no idea if WSL supports printing. I 
doubt it, but I thought I'd throw this out as a possible alternative to 
running a VM.  WSL is much more "lightweight" than a VM, but takes a LOT 
less resources.
