Hello, Might it have something to do with the version of printing
software or firmware you use? Did you say you were running winbraille
3.10?

Hi, Well I can tell you what the meening of beef is, though it
won't help you. Beef seems to be the hexidesimal virtual ID for the
everest, but the everest doesn't seem to be being detected
properly. Notice that your lexmark 540, and your apple IR receiver
are both identified by name, but under device name for your everest,
it just says printer. Could it be that you have a conflicting vid
or pid? If you keyword search the log for beef and 0003 and see if
any other devices are using those as vid and pid numbers, that might
tell us something. Other wise, all I'm getting from that log is
that the everest isn't being detected properly, which we already knew.

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.
best regards,
William

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.

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
