Can't print in Fusion - Tommie Milwaukee - 05-07-2008

I'm running Windows XP in Fusion on an iMac 2.16 core 2 duo and I cannot get my HP printer to work. The driver has been properly installed and the dialog box always says that the printing completed, but the printer itself does nothing. Boy, I hate Windows, but I need to use it for a couple of programs. Any ideas out there?

1. Print to PDF with http://www.primopdf.com/
2. Transfer the PDF file to the Mac side and print from there.

Yeah, I can do that, but shouldn't the printer work in Windows? That's a little inconvenient.

Make sure you have USB connectivity checked in the settings menu.

Yeah. In Fusion you have to make sure the little USB thingie at the bottom of the screen is set to "connected". I made sure I connected my printer before I installed the driver in Fusion. All worked fine.

I'd try installing Bonjour. It works in Parallels.
