    I have an HP 2840 and I can not get it to print. Paralells is totally useless if you cant print. It seems you need a doctorate degree to make it print from reading some posts.

    Does anyone have a simple and clear answer on how to make my printer actually work?

    Thanks!!

    I used Bonjour. BTW, I think you'll find that the problems don't lie with Parallels, rather they involve Windows.

    the 2840 is network enabled right ? setup it up on the lan, then print to it using tcp/ip printing in windows.

    does your 2840 not have the network module in it :( damn.. have you tried sharing the printer in osx and mapping it within windows ?
