Can't print on Windows XP Pro with Canon iP5200

[Leon Nelson]

I have an IntelMac with Windows XP Pro installed on Parallels and OS X 10.4.8 for the Mac-side. I have successfully installed my PIXMA iP5200 on the Mac side and am using it just fine. However, on my Windows side, I have installed the 5200, but I cannot get it to print, even though I have checked the correct USB local port criteria. When I try to print in Windows, I get the "blue screen of death." What should I do to be able to print in Windows XP Pro? Leon Nelson

Try this:
1) (Optional) Uninstall your canon printer on the XP side. (Might help. Can't hurt)
2) Go into your OSX System Preferences. Select "Sharing" and put a check mark by "Printer Sharing"
3) From XP, Go to apple.com and download Bonjour for Windows here: http://www.apple.com/bonjour/
4) Install Bonjour in your XP machine
5) Print something
