Hi, I'm using Parallels 4.0 on my Snow Leopard iMac with XP installed under parallels. When I print on my USB connected Brother MFC-7440N from the Mac, everything is fine. When I print from XP, some characters are wrong (I get question marks or weird characters instead of accented characters). How can I fix this? Thank you.
Hello, On Mac side please check the following: 1) System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> Printer Sharing on-> Open Print and fax preferences -> there should be the printer 2) Configure -> Parallel Port 1 (or add it "+" parallel port) -> it should be connected and enabled Start Virtual Machine -> Parallel Port 1 -> Connect default printer or printer you specified when you set up Parallel Port 1 In case that does not help you may install Bonjour, please check the following articles: http://kb.parallels.com/en/5156 http://kb.parallels.com/en/5783 http://kb.parallels.com/en/4990
Well this never worked but I hopefullly managed to make the printer work using Bonjour... I had to disable AVG firewall though and use XP firewall as I didn't manage to configure AVG firewall for Bonjour...
