I went to Graeme's place last night on his request following a contribution I had made to this thread. The solution was annoyingly simple, although not immediately obvious: although the USB service was turned on, no actual USB device had been activated. I deleted the HP Printer from his Printers list in Windows, then activated the HP Printer from Parallels' USB Menu. Windows instantly sprang to life, announcing the detection of New Hardware (etc, etc) and the Parallels connection was made. The only glitch was where Windows insisted that we locate a particular .dll file (perhaps a legacy of the Windows drivers having been installed), but once we got through that the HP Printer reappeared in the Printer List, but this time it was the shared version. Graeme is printing just fine from Windows now. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Mob 0403 064 948 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au>
