    First off AutoCad runs just fine in every way for me on my 2gb 24" iMac. The problem that I have is printing. I go through the standard page setup and plot screens and procedures in Acad and when I go to print, XP crashes and the VM restarts. I have printed successfully from other apps in the VM so this seems to be an Acad thing. Has anyone else run into this?

    Thanks,
    David

    Have you installed Bonjour yet? It may help. It's available as a free download from Apple.com

    Bonjour? I was not aware of this. I will try it and see if it helps. Thanks for the tip. Is there anything special I need to know before I install it or use it?

    Thanks

    Bonjour for Windows will answer all your questions, I think. It's quite an easy install. I use it when running Rhino in XP on my Mac laptop and it prints fine to both a Laserjet (tcp/ip connection) and an HP Colorjet attached as a USB printer on a networked Mac Mini.
