Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / May 2006Unable to connect a printer
I have Windows XP running on Virtual PC 7.0.2. My Mac OS is OS-X 10.3.9. I simply cannot seem to connect to my HP Deskjet 5740 from VPC programs, e.g. Quicken, but can easily connect from normal Mac programs. Appreciate help here. Have you installed the extensions that allow you to do that. There is a program you have to install in your windows installation which allows for things like drag and drop file copying and seemless mouse movement between osx and the virtual PC. It should also allow you to print directly from you VPC session to your printer.

It might help your situation. It's free. > > I have Windows XP running on Virtual PC 7.0.2. My Mac OS is OS-X > > 10.3.9.

Make sure the printer is set as the default printer on the Mac side. Then try printing using the VM Additions printer. If you still cannot print, set up an emulated printer following the steps in the kb article below: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824366/en-us |
