Here I am again,
Erik, you where right, I mean that , if the printer is attached before the virtual machine boots, I have the possibility to enable the printer in the menu-item "virtual macines" and then usb. But, when I do this, a setup in windows is starting and after a very short time, the system crashes and the virtual machine is powered off itself in a abnormal way.

I have found the most recent logfile ans I see only a litle differens between this printer and my lexmark normal printer:

part of logfile:

Jan 09 23:47:14.968: vmx| USB: Found device [name:Lexmark\ 510\ Series vid:043d pid:009f path:13/15/1/3 speed:full family:printer] Jan 09 23:47:14.968: vmx| USB: Found device [name:Apple\ IR\ Receiver vid:05ac pid:8242 path:13/5/1 speed:low family:hid] Jan 09 23:47:14.968: vmx| USB: Found device [name:Printer vid:beef pid: 0003 path:13/15/1/4 speed:full family:printer]


end of logfile

what is the meaning of beef?
is this perhaps important information to solve this problem?


thanx in advance!
best regards,
William

hmm, I can look for it further but the effective problem is that you can not connect the printer without crashing. So, you can also not press the button while the printer isn't still connected.

Heh man, this may sound stupid, but did you look for a button in the vmware window that says connaisseurect index everest and press it? Sometimes my hardware gets passed straight through to the vm, and other times I have to kick start it that way.

Best,

Hello all,
I would like to install my everest brailleprinter on my mac.
Since I didn't find out how it was working on mac itself, I tryed it under vmware fusion (windows xp pro).
I used  winbraille 3.14

The problem is that windows and vmware don't give reaction anymore when I plug in the printer into the mac after installing winbraille and the driver succesfully.
It's the last driver available at the moment.



With the same cable and the same software, the everest works fine on a windows pc.


We can't find any logfile in windows about that and also, my lexmark printer works fine under mware.

Some experiences or suggestions are very welcome!

thanx alot,
best regards,
William Windels
