Can't install my printer on Windows virtual machine using  Leopard OS

Have just installed Leopard and Parrallels software. I cannot install my HP C3180 printer on the virtual windows machine. USB plug and unplug are not recognized and suspect it is because the printer is in use on the Mac OS side. How can I get the same printer to be connected and usable in both MAC and Windows virtual machines?

I had exactly the same issue as you when I wanted to print from my iMac to a printer that was attached to a Windows 7 machine.
I found the solution at an Apple Support page, located at "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3049".
What really solved my problem was the introduction of the user PASSWORD in the address line, like this:
smb://user:password@workgroup/server/sharename
Read the Apple Support page I mentioned carefully to better understand what you will be doing.
I hope this helps you.

    I have a Virtual Machine with Windows 8.1 OS and 4gb RAM, 200gb Disk.
    I want to develop apps for Windows Mobile 8.1 with VS 2013 Update 4, Mobile Emulators can work in my Virtual Machine, bcz i am getting bellow error.
    Windows Phone Emulator is unable to verify that the virtual machine is running:

    The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine 'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4inch 512MB.appuser' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running (Virtual machine ID xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx).

    No you cannot do that.  You need a physical machine that supports Hyper-V

  • Can't find Bonjour printer from Windows XP machine over wireless

    I have a hard-wired windows PC, a wireless Macbook Pro, and a wireless Windows PC (XP) all on the network together. All have Internet access. Only the hard-wired PC and the wireless Mac have access to the shared disk and printer hanging off the AEBS.
    I installed the "Bonjour" software found here on Apple's site, but when I run the utility on the wireless windows PC, it tells me there are no Bonjour printers available.
    It connects (and authenticates via WPA) no problem, so I know there is network connectivity. Why won't it see the shared printer that the other machines can see?
    Is the "Bonjour Printer Wizard" the right thing to be using?
    Thanks

    Instead of using Bonjour (which may be blocked by having ultra-aggressive firewall software installed on your PC) try using the manual printer setup method detailed at:

  • Windows virtual machine with labview on a Mac

    I am about to buy a Mac laptop with virtualization software (either VMware or Parallels), then create a Windows 7 virtual machine and put Labview for Windows Professional on it.
    I searched the board and found some discussion of this configuration but it is several years old.
    I would just like to hear from people who have done this and learn from their experiences.  Are there any pitfalls, features that don't work, performance problems, setup difficulties, whatever.  Also, do you prefer VMware or Parallels. 
    One other thing:  I would like to create at least four virtual machines (Windows with Labview development, Windows without LV to test the applications in a non-labview environment, and similar for MacOS}.  Is this a reasonable thing to do?
    Regards,
    David

    Hi David,
    As indicated above I have been running a windows virtual machine using VMware on a 17 inch macbook pro for quite a while now.  I have not experienced significant problems.  Labview and labview generated apps work fine in the virtual environment.
    But would I do it again?  I think not.  The economics don't work.  You can buy a quite capable Windows laptop for less than $500.  The virtual machine alternative costs $200 for a copy of Windows, $80 for virtualization software (Parallels or VMware) plus extra memory on the Mac (I have 8 gb) plus a more powerful machine, etc.  I ended up paying over $3,000 for the Mac hardware and extra software.  The alternative would have been $1,500 for a 15 inch Mac plus $500 for a Windows laptop.
    Also, there is definitely a performance penalty.  Virtualization is not free.  Start up and shutdown times for Windows are more than twice as long under VMware than with a cheap HP laptop.
    It is nice having all my files (Mac and Windows) on the same machine but I could have easily networked the Mac and Windows and had effectively the same result.  Expected benefits, such as a single backup disk for both operating systems didn't work out.  Apple's time machine software views the entire Windows environment as a single lump, so I am still stuck with two backup drives.
    So the good news is that it works.  The bad news is that the costs (in my opinion) exceed the benefits.

  • Can the boot camp partition be resized once windows is installed and running as virtual machine using vm fusion ware?

    I have macbook air partitioned 505/50 and running OSX and win 7 side by side as virtual machines using vm fusion.  Can the partition size be changed without starting over?

    Very helpful.  I started with vm ware to create a pseudo drive but could not import win 7 over home network.  mac has no immediate way to connect to network without adapter, and has no cdrom.  So i used boot camp to create partition, then made a bootable win7 iso file on a memory stick using win 7 usb/cdrom download tool from microsoft, and rEFIT to get mac to boot from the mem stick into the dos partition.  Then i ran vm fusion to import the win 7 partition as a virtual machine.  OSx and win 7 run side by side.
    Seems from what you say that sizing cannot be accomplished without deleting partition and starting over.  If I start over and just run vm fusion to create he win7 virtual machine, not sure how I would bet the minimum win 7 os into the ac.  Perhaps vm will boot from the mem stick using refit.  Do you know?

  • Installing a non-Host printer in a Virtual Machine that's not compatible with Host OS

    I have a printer (Canon i9900) that works fine under Windows 7 x64 (through a USB Print Server) but is "not supported" in Windows 8.1 (on a Surface Pro 3).  I have installed on the Surface Pro 3 a Win7 x64  virtual machine using the free version of VMWare, but have been unsuccessful in installing the USB Print Server (Arkview).   The (latest) printer driver seems to install, at least no error messages are displayed.   I have not yet tried installing the printer using a direct USB connection, since that is a sub-optimal configuration for my network.
    Am I spinning my wheels in thinking that what I am trying to do is  not possible.  If possible, do I need an upgraded version of VMWare to do this?  If I need a Host-compatible USB print server, any suggestions?  Most of the ones I seen do not indicate support for my (older) Canon i9900 printer.
    Thanks for any suggestions.  I'm just trying to extend the useful life of this (wide format, expensive-to-replace) older printer.

    Is setting the network to BRIDGED rather than NAT a viable solution?  Any configuration issues? Can I do this using the wireless adapter on the Surface Pro 3?

  • I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it

    I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

    Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required.  I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud.  Now I get the famous white screen:
    It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now). 
    Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
    del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
    Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
    Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work.  I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
    I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

  • Can't install a printer driver...

    Before I throw my iMac across the fields I remembered this forum had helped before.. I can't install a printer on my iMac.. when I go through system prefs, add printer, it sees the printer and manages to make it to looking for installable options then that window just hangs.. I can use the computer.. but the window stays and it never actually installs the drivers, i'm using a wireless connection. The same thing happened before with a previous Epson printer connecting by USB. In the end I managed to connect it to my Macbook.. but that's a sticking plaster rather than a cure.....
    Help...

    If you want to hook it up via wireless, it needs to support the wireless standard used by Apple, or be setup for printer sharing either in the wireless access point's own settings, or hooked up to another computer that has printer sharing turned on.    It would help to know the model of the printer, and not just the make, to be able to give you a concise answer on which of these methods is most likely to be fruitful.  And you are running Mac OS X 10.6 something on your machine, correct?

  • How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

    How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

    You have several options.
    1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there.  A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.
    http://www.parallels.com/
    2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs.  The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

    3. Use Wine /  Winebottler to run the Application without the need for a complete Windows installation.

  • Can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7.  Setup error

    I can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7.  I get a vague error that says Setup error, sontact Adobe Customer Support. Adobe Customer Support refuses to help me.  That really upsets me. 

    First of all I would like to thank the people that responded to my post.  I am extreemly impressed with your eagerness to help and your concern for my problem.  Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
    I did not see a way to get a transcript of my chat.  I should have printed it at the conclusion of my chat. Overall though, I think my concerns are with Windows itself and also how Adobe as a company handles a call from someone who gets an installation error that says "call Adobe Customer Support". I purchased this program to run on Windows 7 and I am installing it on a Windows 7 computer. I feel that if Adobe is going to give a vague error message and tell you to contact them, they should give me more assistance than "your product is too old, good luck on the forums". I could see if I am calling and asking them how to do something, maybe my product is too old for that, but I think their responce was unacceptable.  I hope enough other people complain so that Adobe changes this policy.
    Wow, this has taken an enormous amount of time to deal with. I imagine this is mainly a Windows file permissions issue, but I think Adobe needs to take some ownership for a client having to spend many HOURS trying to install their program on the original OS they purchased the program for.
    I definitely do not like the way the Adobe Dreamweaver installer deals with errors. Here are the facts as I know them.
    When the installer would fail on install, the subsequesnt install would fail, but it would give a VERY cryptic error stating that the install failed and I need to contact Adobe customer service.
    In order to re-install I had to un-install.  Naturally my un-installs failed every time, too. After lots of trial and error and checking the forumns, I found   the program install folders under c:\programs. I deleted them, re-booted, unistalled again with no errors.  Then I could re-install without the vague "contact Adobe customer support" error.  Note that I had to re-install several times to get to the bottom of the installation problem so this took a long time to figure out.
    In the end, I had to manually delete files from C:\Windows\Installer in order to get Dreamweaver to install.  This took a long time to figure out, too.  It still installed with errors, but it said Dreamweaver would work with limited functionality. So far this is good enough for me and I am tired of spending non-billable time on this.
    Following is one of the main erros I got during the first failed install.  IF ANYONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHY MY INSTALL WAS FAILING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.  IT SEEMS LIKE IT DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO ACCESS THOSE FILES, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE AS THE PROGRAM IS INSTALLED AS ADMINISTRATOR. Any thoughts???
    Thanks again everyone who helped!

    Hi ,
    anybody know  How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?
    I want to create lab but i couldn't  I follow this article but the new VM is off
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/gbanin/archive/2013/06/26/how-to-install-hyper-v-on-a-virtual-machine-in-hyper-v.aspx
    one of hyper-v component is not running
    thanks

    Previously it has been blocked to install Windows Server in the VM and then add the Hyper-V Role.
    However, it has always been possible to install Hyper-V Server inside a VM. (the free Hyper-V Server SKU)
    The Hyper-V Server VM is fully manageable, but it cannot start any VMs.
