Printing Problems Persist - Help.

[David Schaefer]

I am running a MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard with Airport Extreme. I have a Samsung ML-2510 connected as a network printer to Airport Extreme by USB. I have installed Bonjour in XP and have had no luck in getting anything to print. I can see my printer when I look at the XP Printers and the Bonjour printers. Still nothing. What is the problem in getting this to work?

It might be easier if you set up that printer as the default printer on your Mac (as a network printer) and use the HP printer driver that Parallels uses for print emulation. I think you'll need to define a parallel port on your VM. What'll then happen is that Parallels will pass whatever you're printing to the virtual parallel port which will map your print job to the Mac's default printer.

I don't have an HP printer driver available in Parallels/XP? Where can I get it?

OK - got it - reinstalled Parallels tools, and the HP 8500 PS driver - seems to be working now.
