Wireless Printer reconnection

[crabacle]

I have a couple of recurring problems with printers in Vista Ultimate running under MAC OS X.

First at home:
The printer is connected via USB - within Vista when I try to print - it just sits there. I always have to switch the printer off - and ten back on - where Vista and Parallels recognises it, asks if I want to connect to it - and then it prints. - What a pain!

Then at work - this manifests itself slightly differently:
This is connected using the work wireless network. In effect I keep having to re-install the printer every day to get Paralells to print to it.

Any ideas on both of these?

Thanks

Craig
