Hi,
I have an EPSON AcuLaser CX11NF connected to my router. It has a static IP (as well as all computers connected to the router) and works well with my XP computer(s) and the new iMac.
In Parallels (RC2) on the iMac it doesn't.
- the XP EpsonNet Install does not find the printer in the network
- I can nevertheless ping my printer's IP
- shared networking is enabled in Parallels
After some research, I installed Bonjour for XP in Parallels. I was happy to see that Bonjour indeed found the printer. I used the drivers from the EPSON CD and Bonjour created it as my default printer.
BUT, whenever I print something (Office 2007, notepad, ...), the printer queue just gets an entry for a fraction of a second, then the entry disappears. After that, nothing "arrives" at the printer. No sign of the print job in XP either. No error message that I can see.
- I still can ping the printer
- Still EpsonNet Install does not find it
- Bonjour finds the printer
- The iMac printer sharing is enabled.
- The printer properties in the printer dialog in Office are those I would expect (EPSON settings), so the drivers seem to be installed
And now?
C.
