Hi everyone.
I just recently got my mom to buy a macbook pro with parallels pre-installed from MacMall. So far, she and i are pretty happy with how easy it was to just plug and play..
ANYWAYS, i am trying to make this as easy as possible for her since she is not a mac person (but she is pretty computer literate)
So there is a little issue with the printer that i am trying to sort out.
Basically, it is clear that you can only use one printer for one machine, and if you have it set up to use XP, you have to switch to "computer" to print from the OSX part of the computer..
I was wondering if there was a way to network the printer instead, so the printer is attached to BOTH machines (virtual and real) so there will be no issues.
I tried turning printer sharing ON In the OSX side and it is obviously networked between parallels and osx - it came that way.. BUT i can not get windows to see the shared computer
If there is a tutorial somewhere that someone can link me to, that would be good.. If not, some tips to look at would be appreciated.
THANKS
