    I have a Windows XP VM and have successfully connected to my networked LaserWriter which uses LPT1. I am trying to connect a second printer that is a shared device off another Mac on my network (it's a Canon MP830). I am able to print to this printer from the Mac side of my MacBook Pro. I have selected the Canon as the connection target for port 2 in the Devices setup of Parallels. On the Windows side, I use the Add Printer utility and step through the install. I choose LPT2 as the desired port and configure the Canon driver. However, a test page doesn't print successfully. Anything I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks
