Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / March 2008Using a USB Printer in Virtual PC 7?
I have an Epson USB printer that I use for my regular mac (OS10.3.1), and now I want to print with Virtual PC. The manual says you have to "capture" a USB printer because VPC does not recognize it. How do I do that? Thanks! > I have an Epson USB printer that I use for my regular mac (OS10.3.1), and now > I want to print with Virtual PC.

Don't know about capture, but you could try printing to the default MacOS X printer. Oh, your MacOS X 10.3 should be upgraded to 10.3.9, the last release of Panther. It's some years out of date. The current version is 10.5.2.  SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee... Thank you for the reply. I was able to figure out how to get my USB printer recognized on the Virtual PC, but when I try to print, it just says "Print Que full". It does the same whether I'm using the USB printer, or the default one. It asked me to put in the CD for the printer, and it installed it, but I'm still getting that error message. Any ideas? Also, regarding the upgraded version of OS X, I was under the impression that my computer was too old/slow to upgrade any further. How do I find that out for sure? When I have the mac check for updates, it just says that everything is up to date. I'm less than 800mhz.

Officially Leopard X.5 requires more than 800MHz; 867+Mhz. http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/ So your Mac's limit is Tiger X.4. From what I've read Leopard is slow on lower MHz Macs, even though there are several ways to get around Apple's 867MHz install block. IMO Leopard is more for Intel Macs. I'm leaving my MDD G4/1.25 at Tiger X.4. |
