Dell A940 on Mac troubleshooting

Hi,

I have just made the transition from PC to Mac and I am using Parallels to aid in that transition.
I own a Dell All-in-One A940, which I have just found out won't work with the Mac OSX. I tried to install it on the Windows XP that I have on Parallels and it worked ok (I got to print a test page). However, when I tried to print from a page from Internet Explorer (in XP), it printed half of the header and then stopped. I tried it a few times and each one it would print different "amounts" of the same header and spit the page with the rest blank. Does anybody know why and how I can fix this?

Thank you,

Nicles
 
Mac doesn't detect Dell printers (or so I have read on other forums). When I plug it via USB, it doesn't show up on the printer list or anything...
Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

It is. Today I was able to print some things, but then it started doing it again: I send a file to print, the printer software seemingly sends all the info, but the document itself only prints part. For example, I was trying to print a thread of emails and it printed 3 and a half pages (of 6) and stopped. It really seems like it's a problem with the amount of information that is flowing between windows and the printer. (By the way, the printer has none of these problems if I just connect it to my old PC).
Thanks again for all the help.
