Unable to Print in Windows with Vmware Fusion HP LaserJet 1006

Prints fine on the Mac with 10.6.1 and HP driver updates.
Printer worked flawlessly with Leopard 10.5.8
Will not print in windows. Open the print queue and it says it is printing (it isn't), sometimes the message is that it is waiting for the printer to become available, (printer is available).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Alan

The print job gets sent to the printer, but it wont print. It says waiting for printer to become available. When this happens I am also unable to print from the Mac side and have to restart the computer to be able to print from the MacBook. Simply turning off the printer and then turning it on doesn't help.

  • Split screen software of LG ultra wide monitor won't start with windows 7 installed with VMWare Fusion

    I am using split screen sofware of LG but it is not working for me with vmware fusion 7. Is this a known problem? I am using an ultra wide monitor of LG (29um65), and installed windows 7 on my mac, by using VMware Fusion. But the software won't work of LG. It won't start. LG can't help me, because normally the software is working by using windows 7 on a windows pc. I got it also working on a  mac , when I used other virtual software as Virtualbox VM, but it seems not to work with vmware fusion 7. Can somebody help me with this problem?

    yes, I think you are right, but I used virtual box in the past, and had no problem with the LG software, so it has also to do wit VMWare Fusion I think.
    Never the less we still don't have a solution :-)

  • Can't Connect to Time Capsule with VMware Fusion

    I'm having problems connecting to my Time Capsule's hard drive with Windows through VMware Fusion. I have Windows installed with Boot Camp, and use Fusion to run my Boot Camp partition virtually. When booting natively(Boot Camp), Windows can connect to the Time Capsule hard drive without any problems. However, when using Fusion, I get the following error message when trying to connect to the Time Capsule hard drive:
    +Unknown user, incorrect password, or login disabled. Please retype the login information or contact the disk's administrator(67)+
    Any ideas as to what the problem is?

    I had the exact same experience as you. I solved it by putting the Time Capsule into Bridge mode. On either Mac or Windows, open Airport Utility and click on Manual Setup. Then click on the "Internet" icon. Near the bottom of the tab you'll see "Connection Sharing". Click on the small arrow and select "Off(Bridge Mode).
    After doing this, the Time Capsule showed up in my virtual XP machine's My Computer as a mounted volume. I have successfully backed up my XP machine running in Fusion 2.0.1 by directing Windows Live OneCare to this network location.

  • Unable to print finder window

    Back in the days of MACOS 7, 8 and 9.0 operating systems, one could print any finder window (dailogue box) by simply holding down the "apple" key and hitting "p".
    How can I print finder windows with Mac OSX? I want to make lists of what is in certain folders.
    Thanks.

    Not like it used to be, but still possible.
    1) Drag the folder to any printer icon (Printer Setup, a Desktop printer or a printer in the Printer Setup list, for example)
    2) Get the free utility Print Window (www.versiontracker.com)
    3) Drag the folder to the free Text Wrangler for a better hierarchical view, then print.

  • Need Help Cloning Old Windows XP to Mac with VMWare Fusion

    Hello I'm new to the forums and I have been searching all over for a good answer on how to do this.
    I have a ton of applications, docs, etc. on my old windows xp machine that I need and I am looking for a way to clone the drive it to my mac that is using VMWare Fusion. I have an external hard drive and have tried acronis true image but apparently that doesnt work. So I am looking for a good step by step process on how to do this.
    Also later I want to clone the same windows xp drive to another mac that is using boot camp. will that be the same?
    Thanks

    The easiest way would be to put the PC hard drive into an external enclosure and use Disk Utility or a similar tool to create a disk image file that you can copy to the Mac. You may be able to read the PC disk image format and get VMWare to read the resulting image.
    Even if you make it that far, I don't think you will be able to get Windows to use it as a boot drive. You will have much more success just creating a new disk image and reinstalling everything with the correct drivers. Then just copy your documents back over using more traditional methods.

  • Windows XP Pro with VMware Fusion 3

    i tried installing Windows XP Professional 5 times now using VMware Fusion 3.0. nothing has worked. im getting fustrated. it says this:
    Windows/system32/config/system is missing or corrupt.
    that is all. dont know what to do. ive tried two different installation discs. it should be working.

    Hello - I came across this old post of yours. Unfortunately, I need to install VMWare Fusion and Windows onto my Macbook Pro and wondering where is the best place to get a Windows OS disc? I've read that XP is the best version to use and have seen it on some websites for as little as $60 but not sure if that is safe. Also, I don't have an optical drive so would have to buy an external one to install Windows (Fusion 5 can be downloaded from their site i guess). Any advice on the best and cheapest way to get this done would be greatly appreciated!

  • How do I share printing between mac and Vmware Fusion?

    I am trying to print from mac and from Windows XP installed in a virtual machine via VMWare fusion on my IMac. If I am able to print from Mac then when I switch over to Fusion and try to print it errors stating the the printer is disconnected. If I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it will print. Same with mac if it is printing okay on Fusion and I try to print from mac it acts like it is printing but it is not sent to the printer, if I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it prints. Printer sharing and window sharing is on. Any suggestions?

    I suggest you post your question on the Microsoft Mac Office forums as that's where the Office gurus hang out...

  • Sharing iTunes on a Mac with VMware Fusion

    I want to share my iTunes library on the Mac side of my MacBook Pro with the Windows VMware Fusion machine. I'm hoping to just point the Windows side to my shared Mac iTunes folder. I can see the folder (under Edit...Preferences...Advanced - it shows up as Z:\Music\iTunes) but haven't been able to have the actual songs show up in the Music Library on my Windows iTunes.
    Is anyone else doing this?

    There is a separate Windows forum in the Discussions where your question should probably be posted because it has nothing to do with the Finder and Dock.
    Ideally, however, you should post it on the VM Fusion forum since the question has to do with using VM Fusion.

  • When running windows in vmware fusion how do I extend my windows desktop to my second display

    I am running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise in a VMware  session session on my MacBook pro.  I was just given a second thunderbolt display today and I want to be able to extend my desktop when running the windows VM.  When the VM is shut down it's working perfectly and awesome.  However when I'm logged into and working with in the VM, I'm limited to only using one display.  It would be very helpful to be able to extend to the second screen as I need to run 3-4 nearly full screen apps at once and would like to utilize this second display.

    You might get better results raising that question in the VMware Fusion forum. I don't have two monitors so I can't test anything but a quick check on that forum for that question gave: "Normally if a user wants to use two monitors with a VM, they can select "Use All Displays in Full Screen" in Full screen mode."

  • Help with VMware Fusion please!

    Hello. I have purchased the full version of VMware Fusion 1.1.2 and installed it on my MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.2. I also have Windows XP SP2 installed via Boot Camp, which works fine. When I open VMware Fusion, in the list box labelled "Virtual Machines:", there is one virtual machine listed -- "Boot Camp partition", which is obviously the virtual machine I want to run.
    Here's the problem -- when I click on it and hit the "Run" button, a dialog box comes up with a progress bar that says it is preparing my computer for the virtual machine or something like that and that this will only happen once. It asks me to put in my administrator password, and after I do, an error message comes up that says: "A failure occurred during processing. An unknown error occurred." -- or something along those lines. This was before I updated to 1.1.2. Now, having updated it to 1.1.2, when I try to run the Virtual Machine, I get a different error. This time it comes up before I'm asked to enter my administrator password, and this time it says: "Could not create virtual disk for your Boot Camp virtual machine."
    Can someone please help me figure out what is wrong here. I should mention that I also have Parallels Desktop (it was a gift) installed, which works absolutely fine. I would like to see the difference between Parallels and Fusion, and since I paid for it, I'd like it to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Windows and VMware fusion

    How do I uninstall Windows 7 on my MacBook?
    I also want to uninstall my VMware fusion.
    If I uninstall VMware Fusiun, will Windows 7 also be uninstalled automaticly?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    check with the VMWare Fusion manual on this.
    To my knowledge uninstalling Fusion does not automatically uninstalls the Windows VM (Virtual Machine).
    So you first have to delete the Windows VM through Fusion (or by simply deleting the VM files from your harddisk) and the uninstall Fusion itself by using its own Uninstaller.
    Regards

  • Bootcamp partition restriction with vmware fusion

    I have a 2 TB hard drive on my iMac that I was going to use to install windows. Using bootcamp, all went well. I put Vmware Fusion on and it worked well. Later I thought it might be nice to have 2 partitions on this hard drive so I re-partitioned the hard drive (not using bootcamp) and then installed windows, again no problem. The problem occurs when I then put on Vmware Fusion. Seems that program is very sensitive to the bootcamp created partition and to use any other program causes Vmware Fusion to fail. Doing some research, I thought I read that bootcamp will ONLY create one partition, no option for two partitions. My question is: Am I reading this correctly? Can bootcamp only make one partition? Is there a hack around this? I hate having a 2 TB hard drive with only one partition.

    Hi again,
    Boot Camp is a (very limited) utility for creating a non-mac partition on a Mac volume (by Apple). That's why it'll allow to create only 1 partition on a Mac OS hard drive.
    This has to be on the HD where there is Mac OS X already - so you can't use BootCamp on your 2nd HD.
    If you install 2nd macOS on the 2TB HD, start from there & then partition it with BC, then you should be able to start a bootcamped windows from there.
    VMware doesn't have to be used with the help of BootCamp - I have both Parallels & VMware installed without the BootCamp.
    As a matter of fact you can install Parallels & VMware from an .iso image (which you can't use with BC) - but Windows has to be installed the same way as with BS = it will take ± 1hour to install.
    Also - you can store the resulting 'file' (which in my case I'm storing on my external 'My Book' 2TB hard drive) on any HD which is connected to your iMac.
    The 'file' is stored as 'Windows 7.vmwarevm' - my is 13Gb actual size but with-in the win7 I have on it the size is = 40Gb {Local Disc (C:)}.
    All these 'Virtual Machines' are automatically compressed by the VMware application.

  • Desperate for a little help with VMware Fusion tools

    I tried the Fusion discussions group on this question but got nothing, so please don't tell me to try there; I already have.
    I am using VMare Fusion 2.0.6 on my MacBook running 10.6.4; Windows OS is XP Home edition, SP3
    I find more and more applications that previously did not work well in OSX are now running nicely on my MacBook (i.e., various applications from Garmin) and that I rarely boot up in Windows.
    However, not long ago I did boot up in Windows and saw the alert, “VMware tools is out of date. Choose the virtual Machine > Install VMwre Toold Menu.” I did so and it failed, miserably. I lost tools completely, everything was a bloody mess.
    I looked for help/a solution on the VMware site, found it, but it was beyond my capability. I simply could not figure out how to do what it was directing me to do.
    I moved my Virtual Machine folder from a backup of my MacBook back to the MacBook; I am back to a point where all is well but I am also, naturally, getting the “VMware tools is out of date. Choose the virtual Machine . Install VMwre Toold Menu.”
    When I choose "Virtual Machine . Install VMwre Toold Menu", I get this alert: You cannot install the VMware Tools package until the guest operating system is running. If your guest operating system is not running, choose cancel and install the VMware Tools Package later.
    Isn't the "guest operating system" OSX on my MacBook? Well of course it's running; how the heck could you be running Fusion if OSX isn't running? There must be something here I just don't understand.
    Does some kind soul have the time and patience to explain to me what I am obviously missing here so I can get on with it and update VMware Tools?
    Many, many thanks if someone can

    OK, here's the rest of the story.
    I followed the above instructions, sort of...
    Removed Tools as directed.
    A restart was required to finish the removal.
    Restarted, went to Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools package and got the, for me, dreaded - Warning, you cannot install the VMware Tools package unless the guest operating system is running, etc., so I clicked on Cancel.
    I also got the Found New Hardware Wizard, which I cancelled out of.
    I went to Virtual Machine > CD/DVD > Choose a disk image and navigated to "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages/windows.iso" as I was directed, clicked on Open, and nothing happened.
    In Windows, I then went to the CD/DVD drive, to run the setup.exe manually.
    Among the choices there I found both VMware Tools and VMware Tools 64 and forgot I was told to run setup.exe. I asked again and was told to run VMware Tools. I did so and that fixed it.
    Later, I was told that I should have chosen setup.exe NOT the VMware Tools.msi, but that since setup.exe calls the VMware Tools.msi it's probably a moot issue as long as I received a message that VMware Tools were successfully installed.
    So, I guess the correct thing would have been to run setup.exe, but running VMware Tools also did the trick.
    Hope this helps someone else out if they stumble across it.

  • Unable to print to Windows Queue for HP p1606

    So we have a windows 2003 server which has a printer queue for a HP p1606n.
    We can print direct DNS to the printer however not to the print queue. The print queue and windows machines attached to the queue can print fine.
    The jobs get to the queue and then disappear into the ether.
    What we've tried:
    Generic PS and PCL driver on the queue and printing computer
    Model Specific driver on both.
    Varying the model specific driver and the generics on each.
    trying the foo2 driver specific for the 1606.
    All do the same thing which is show the authentication window for the job and then we see it in the local machine queue and the nothing at the printer.
    We are stumped at this point.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi @moports,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you are unable to print with your HP Photosmart 5520, on Windows 7 using a wireless connection. I am happy to help with your printing!
    Please see the following guides:
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7.
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Also I would recommend the HP Wireless printing center, website. You want to make sure the router is broadcasting at 2.4 ghz not 5 ghz.
    This post, Incoming and Outgoing Printer Ports, by @VisionAiry. Will tell you which ports need to be open not closed on the router.
    Hope this information helps, and have a great day!
