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?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • 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.

  • No pdf printer in mac - so No pdf printer available in 'virtual machine' on the mac-any suggestions?

    I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.2 and I installed CS4 on the laptop.  I have Acrobat 9 Pro - and no pdf 'printer' due to Mac's new operating system.  Unfortunately, I also have a virtual machine on my laptop running Windows XP (with VMWare Fusion).  I need the 'pdf printer' in my virtual machine to create pdf's from my Windows programs.   When I bought the Mac version of CS4 (including Acrobat) I didn't know the 'printer' wasn't included and I can't see buying another Acrobat for Windows....does anyone have any suggestions for installing the pdf printer so my virtual machine has access to the printer?

    Hey, guys! be careful, there's a sneaky catch with this "no-pdf-printer" thing.
    The warning, concerns mostly the pros (publishers, editors, typographers....) who are used in CMYK chromatic gamut.
    The catch is this: you get a CMYK archive, all right, but the color tone IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than the one you were used to get with the old good method. That's because, when you choose the "save as adobe pdf" option, initially you get an RGB CONVENTIONAL arch (check the "colors" tag: there 's no CONVENTIONAL CMYK option available). Of course, if you choose to Distill it so that your final arch is a PDF CMYK, what you finally get IS a CMYK archive, BUT: THE COLOR TONE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT! The Reds are pretty much down, and there's a green-ish cast upon it.
    What you can do (and this could be an answer to the dear friend with the difficult onscreen name) is this:
    You can install a virtual PPD PRINTER (an LPD). If you Google "virtual ppd printer for OS 10.6" you get the directions, DIRECTLY from Adobe (anyhow, the link is http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404931.html).
    And... VOI LA! You can use this (choosing as a PPD Device the "GENERAL IMAGESETTER") in order to make things the good old way (print it as a PS and after DISTILL it enjoyably!!!).
    I wonder, why Apple want to make our lives difficult, pretending the same moment that it only makes them easier...
    Well, it's pretty much understandable: SNOW LEOPARD is the "prova generalle" before LION is unleashed. They test us, they weigh us, they are watching our reactions, thus validating for FREE their products. They are clever! but being clever just by considering the others (and treat them) as if they were fools, IS NOT HONEST AT ALL!
    Got it Stevie?

  • The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop

    Hello,
    I hope somebody can help us. I am a IT Technician in a school, we have approx 500 Windows 7 64bit machines with about 600/700 users - 200 machines have the CS5.5 Master Collection installed on them. We have an intermittent issue with printing from Photoshop (both the 32bit and 64bit versions). Our printers are mostly HP LaserJet printers (all modern), but we have an Epson B-510DN Inkjet and some Xerox copiers too. The drivers are all installed on a central print server running Server 2008 R2 and shared via Group Policy to client machines.
    In rooms where Photoshop is installed, intermittently when a student goes to print we will recieve the following error:
    The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing.
    Photoshop will then grey out the 'Print' button and won't let the user print again. The odd thing is that we can still print from other software such as Microsoft Word or even non Microsoft software - even Illustrator will print. It just seems to be Photoshop thats has any issues.
    This happens when printing to any printer on site, 90% of which are HP's. As a general rule we configure all of our HP printers with HP's PCL6 Universal Print Driver as it makes management of various printer models easy, and we haven't found it to limit us atall yet. We are aware the Adobe software is 'preferential' to Postscript drivers but our printers arn't, being HP's PCL is their native language. We have tried changing a printer to the Postscript UPD driver to test it but it made no improvement. We have also seen the issue quite indepth with our Epson B-510DN which is configured with Epson's latest model specific driver as our photography department use it. Since we are seeing it with different printers I don't believe the printer drivers are to blame - unless somebody want's to prove me wrong.
    Like I say the problem is intermittent, and we are having trouble tracing it down to a user, computer or a software problem as it is so intermittent. Has anybody else seen this and managed to overcome it? Since it's only happening in Photoshop is it a bug that Adobe have recognosed and fixed in CS6? The only workaround we have found for it is to go into printers, chnage the defualt printer from one to another and back again - this seems to shut Photoshop up.
    Thanks, Dave.

    Chris,
    Apologies for my slow reply - we have been busy here the past few weeks.
    We are using a standard Microsoft provided JPG image (Tulips.jpg) so we have ruled out it being an issue with the image; perhaps if we were using a PSD, maybe so.
    We have now found out what the issue is, and what the workaround for this bug is. All of our printers across our site are named in a specific format, usually [Location name] [Room number] [Mono or Colour] resulting in printer names such as Photography A11 Colour, Art A2B Colour and Design Technology A14 Colour. All of these names contain numbers. We have tried reimaging machines, reinstalling Photoshop, upgrading to CS6, deleting and reconfiguring printers with the same name. Finally the only solution that worked was to take the numbers out of the name, either by renaming or deleting and reconfiguring the printers. The Photography printer is an Epson B-510DN using a model specific driver and the other two use the HP PCL6 UPD driver, so I don't believe the drivers are to blame and since renaming the printers work I don't believe it's a configuration issue either. Remember that these printers are shared from a print server and deployed via Group Policy (using the Print Management method).
    I hope this provides you Chris, and others searching Google, a useful explanation of the problem and what the fix is. As much as Adobe won't admit it's a problem/bug, I and many others across the internet believe that it is and that it should be fixed in future versions of Photoshop.
    Thanks, Dave.

  • Saved printer information is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11

    Hello - After successfully using PSE11 to print photos on my Epson Artisan 810 printer, the printer died and was replaced with an Epson Artisan 837 printer.  The new printer works on ALL of my other applications EXCEPT I receive the following error message after hitting 'print' on Photoshop Elements 11.
    MESSAGE:
    The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available.  You will need to check your printer settings before printing.
    You can see from the screen print attached that the Epson Artisan 837 is a validly installed printer.  All advanced settings were available for selection/modification, and all printer drivers are up to date.  Also, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer without resolution of the problem.
    Can anyone please point me in the right direction to resolve this issue?
    Thanks so much, Debbie
    Running:
    Windows XP sp3 (up to date)

    You did indeed lead down the correct path with only a little modification required in the naming (see below).  Thank you so very much!! 
    Here's what I had to do to get this to work:
    1 - I first tried to rename this printer to a generic 'DSLW Printer'.  This renaming worked for ALL OTHER applications except Photoshop Elements 11 even after rebooting my PC.  Received the identical error message listed in the original message.
    2 - I then renamed the printer as 'EPSON Artisan 810 Series'.  This was of course a lie but matched the printer as named by the 2010 original Artisan 810 installation.  VOILA!  This does work for Photoshop Elements 11 (jpg and psd files tested) and the other applications that I've tested.  Hopefully all other testing will provide equally successful results.
    So problem seems to be resolved BUT is this a question/problem that I should pursue with either Adobe or Epson?  I do know that the 810 and 837 only differ in the ability to print from a wider variety of wireless devices (e.g. cell phones & tablets), otherwise the functionality is virtually identical.  Did Epson drop the ball or did Adobe?  Or maybe it's simply that I'm a die hard XP sp3 (32 bit) user until forced out by Microsoft.
    Thanks again!!

  • Firefox 3.6.8 not compatible with new HP 4-in-1 for printing from web - any solution?

    I have installed a new HP printer-copier-scanner-fax machine on a new Dell laptop (Model: Inspiron 15R, with Windows 7). This HP product (Model: CQ521A) has the capability of printing from the web. But at the time of installation I have received the warning that this device is not compatible for use with Firefox 3.6.8. Perhaps this is because Firefox 3.6.8 was developed later than this product, but does Firefox have a solution?

    Is your problem with the HP Smart Web Printing program, specifically?
    ''Compatibility with specific programs shouldn't be an issue unless unless the installer is trying to install something into a not-compatible program - like SWP installs an addon into Firefox, and IE.''
    This page indicates SWP only supports IE 6, 7, &8 - http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/smart-web-printing.html - but I have seen in this forum that other Firefox users have been able to use SWP with Firefox 3.6.x versions, once they got a Firefox 3.6.x compatible version of SWP.
    ''Edit: I just downloaded the SmartWeb Printing application from here - http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/smart-web-printing.html?jumpid=ex_r602_go/swp - and opened it. I don't see any files within that package that add's support for Firefox. It looks like HP doesn't support Firefox any longer. Unless they have another download page that I didn't find.''
    Or, see the HP Web Printing support forum for an answer.

    Thanks!
    When I installed the software I had an issue with the compatiblity between my printer and mountain lion. I installed a mountain lion's update related to HP Printers but it wasn't succesful. At any rate I set up the printer and and wireless print works only once... after this I used the USB connection.
    I have no idea what happens and it's so weird because HP webpage says thar 3525 is compatible with AirPrint...
    Thanks for your help!

  • Print Studio Pro plugin is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 Editor for Mac

    It appears that the latest version of Print Studio Pro PlugIn is not compatible with the Editor version of Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac as available on the App store.  The install gives an error saying that it did not find a supported version of Photoshop Elements. This error has been reported before for Elements version 12 but was reportedly fixed in the latest version of Print Studio Pro. Now it appears that this version may support Elements 12 for Mac but not the Editor only version from the app store. Any suggestions for work-around on this?

    "Any suggestions for work-around on this?"
    No! 
    Not untill Mac and Adobe and Canon get their collective acts together.  Mac (Apple) has the bad habit of upgrading their stuff and not being forthcoming with the particulars given to 3rd party companies like Canon and Adobe.
    Besides the cost difference of Mac's the compatibility issues are it's worst features.
