    I am running both BootCamp and Parallels. My Lexmark Z735 works fine on the BootCamp side but will not work on the iMac/Parallels side. The Lexmark does not come with a Mac driver but I think it should work on the Windows VM. I have selected Shared Printers and installed Bonjour in hopes this would solve my problem. When I run Bonjour, it reports "No Bonjour Printers Available."

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am having to re-boot to BootCamp to do any printing.

    Thanks,

    You need to get the Lexmark Printer working on the Mac side before Bonjour will work for you. If you can't find a driver on the LexMark website, I suggest that you do a Google search on GimpPrint and chances are, you can find a driver that works.

    Purplish, I have experienced a similar problem to JimKilby, in that I just cannot get my Epson 210 to work at all under Parallels. No problem with OS X or Vista under Boot Camp. Installed Bonjour on my Windows Vista partition, but can't make any sense of that at all
