My iMac is already connected to a wireless network printer. How do I add this printer in Windows XP running thru Parallels?

Install Bonjour for Windows in your XP machine. Bonjour for Windows is available for free download from the apple.com website.

Be sure you go into OSX Sytem Preferences/Sharing and make sure that printer sharing is checked.

My Bonjour in my Parallels XP VM sees my wife's printer momentarily then loses it. It does not see my printer at all. My wife's printer is connected to her Mac, my printer is connected via cat-5 cable to my router.


(I never get Instant email notification from this board despite my setting).

Hello Howard Brazee,

Please try to set up your printers as network printers. Here are the instructions (http://kb.parallels.com/entry/42/167/0/).
