    Hi, I'm using a Mac Mini with Leopard 10.5.3, 2 GB ram, Parallels 3 build 5584 and Windows XP Professional.
    I recently bought an HP Officejet J5730 multifunction printer/scanner; I succeded in configuring the printer via Bonjour but I can't do it for the scanner.
    Can anybody help?

    Thanks
    Andrea

    If the printer is set up as a network printer, you need to install the HP software under windows.

    Is there mention in HP Officejet J5730 multifunction printer documentation that scanning will work over Bonjour?
    Bonjour can be used for printing (you are setting that printer as shared actually), but is there an option for shared scanner?
    You need to use USB connection to get scanning working
