MacBook Pro :: Cannot Print Using Parallels 7 After Lion Upgrade From SL
May 28, 2012
In Snow Leopard and using Parallels I could print, email and work flawlessly. But I made the decision to upgrade to Lion and now I cannot for the life of me print From Parallels at all now. In a company where printing large sheets in a MUST - it disappoints me that I cannot use my machine as I need it to be used. I think Apple needs to reconsider their operating system. That is Lion, Parallels 7, Windows 7 and HP Designjet 500 42-inch. I can print just fine from Mac but not Parallels (this set up worked great on Snow Leopard/Parallels 7)
I recently upgraded to Lion and am now unable to print either through USB or wirelessly. I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer and have made sure to install all the new software since upgrading my OS. When I go to print my print queue shows the status as 'printing' but ultimately nothing prints.

I have a MacBook, 2Gig memory, 2.18 mhz, running leopard. My best Bible software has to be windows (Logos) Mac version is no where near its potential here, everything PC has crashed in last 8 months. I pulled out o;d Parallels 3 and a whole bunch of old software, getting ready to get to migrate to Win 7.
I have ordered Snow Leopard. I have ordered Parallels for Mac ver 4 (OLD VER ?) Getting free upgrade to Parallels 5 Will probably get an OEM version of Win 7 Ultimate.
1- Can I just install the upgrade to parallels 5 2- if I have to install parallels 4, all I have is XP. 3- My Logos Bible software will 'Sing' on Win 7 need to get there 4- Do not want to reinstall XP as Win 7 has to gut it.
I would rather just not do any of this and wait for my first SS check! But I have to and do not know what to do first. It would seem Snow Leopard but I do not want to do Parallels 4 then parallels 5 if I do not have to. I am canning all my PC stuff and love the intuitiveness of all Apple stuff including software.
After "upgrading" from OS x 10.4.11 to OS x 10.5 to OSX 10.5.2 slowly the print capabilities went down the drain. The description of the path to destruction is. With OS X 10.4 no problems using the Lexmark Z810. After changing to 10.5 printing was only by removing the usb connector then removing the printer from the system preferences and than re-connect the usb plug of the printer.
Under 10.5.2 only an error message "unable to read CUPS raster data" appears. After which the printer windows claims that the printer is ready for use. But absolutely no printed paper is coming out. The same procedure as with 10.5 does not have any effect. Removing the Lexmark files from the library and re-installing from the install dvd does not help either. System: Imac G5 from 2005 with 2 GB memory and now 10.5.2 as os-software.
I have a Macbook Pro, ipad 2 and apple tv as well as a Canon MP640 all connected through airport xtreme. All was working fine until I upgraded from Snow Leopard to OS X Lion. Now I can't print or scan to my Mac, either from the MacBook or from the printer/scanner.

Can't print from Appleworks after installing latest Security Upgrade and latest Brother printer software. Other apps seem to be OK. Appleworks crashes when it tries to bring up the print dialog box.

I have recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and am now having problem with my hp 4500 office jet printer. The print icon tends to stay on the dock after the print job is done and then mess up the print queue. Even worse if I forget to cancel it manually then when I put the computer on 'sleep' the printer starts up again and the whole job is rerun unless I get to cancel it quickly on the printer! Â
It does not always do this (the print icon disappearing as it should do), but for 90% of the time it does.Â
how to obtain a bigger memory for my imac so that I can upgrade to OSX LIon and then to icloud? My imac currently has 1 Gb memory and I need 2 Gb apparently. Apple can no longer supply a 2 Gb memory. I will need to knowe hwre to buy a suitable memory and how to change it.
I have had difficulty in attaching my HP Photosmart C5580 printer to my new MacBookPro (OSX 10.6) through my Netgear WGPS606 print server. After much searching I found previous posts here which advised me to add the Gutenprint driver 5.2.6 which I did. That finally DID successfully attach the printer through the server.
However, there is a lag of many seconds (sometimes minutes) between the SEND command and the starting of the printer. Is this the new normal that I need to expect or is there a fix?
I have an iMac with Mac OSX 10.6.8 and 2.4 GH2 Intel Core 2 Duo processor.I want to upgrade to Lion so that I can use iCloud to share documents with my iPad.Do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first or can I upgrade directly to Lion?
just recieved my refurbished macbook air (2011) 2 weeks ago.Does it qualify for free upgrade to mountain lion ? The website only talked about "qualifying new mac system set..."
i'm abit ocd with stuff on my computer, so stuff like this really bothers me. i had parallels one my computer for a little while whilst i needed windows. now i don't i got rid of the partition and uninstalled parallels. but, .exe files and some other files still show the parallels logo, as if it wants to open them in parallels.
is there any way i can change this? i've removed everything i can think of in preferences, application support, startup items, receipts, etc to do with parallels but to no avail.
I have Parallels 3 installed, mostly to run MS Money. Last night I installed Snow Leopard, unaware that Parallels 3 is not compatible. It appears that I need to go out and buy Parallels 4 as that will work with Snow Leopard.
My question is will all my data within Windows remain if I install 4 or will it be a completely new Windows? And if so, how do I go in and retrieve my MS Money data as I can no longer access it with Parallels 3.
Just wondering if it would be a lighter load on the machine if I load windows xp versus windows 7. I mainly use outlook and various admin tools so needing Windows 7 isn't that necessary.
OK, I know that I can't run XP using Boot Camp under Lion and my new MacBook Pro - but can I use it running Parallels? I bought XP but have no desire to purchase Windows 7 at the outrageous prices that Microsoft charges. I got Parallels in a 'bundle' that I purchased through MacWorld, so I already have it.Â
Just wondering - before I go through the laborious task of finding my ancient XP disc.Â

I was planning on installing Win7 on it and using Parallels for the times I have no Mac option (specific games or apps).
Should I install it as a boot camp partition and then link it in Parallels or just do a clean VM install in Parallels? I'm curious as to what the experiences are and what is my best course of action when my machine shows up.
I was about to buy Lion so I can start using the extra space I purchased on Iclouds but I noticed that Mountain Lion is coming later this summer.Can I wait and simply install Mountain Lion without ever getting Lion?
when mountain lion will release this year if I upgrade my Lion OS to new Apple's new Mac OS what will happen to recovery HD partition? They said my Lion OS will be gone and everything will be Mountain Lion. I bought this Macbook pro late 2011 and its running Lion OS with recovery HD.
For various reasons I would like to do a clean reinstall of Lion on my MBP. I do have the Apple Lion thumb drive for installation. I also have Parallels/Windows installed on this computer. My question: is there any way I can do a clean reinstall of Lion without disturbing the Windows/Parallel part?Â
I use Parallels to create a virtual PC running Windows 7. I have installed Office 2010 on the PC side and Office 2011 on the Mac. All VBA works fine on the PC side, but bombs on the Mac. It was my understanding (directly from Apple) that with the release of Office 2011 for the Mac that all code was now conforming with the PC version. This is probably true for new code written under Office 2010 (PC), however, most all of my applications have been developed over time through many versions of Windows based software (probably the last 10 years)…to date I have never had an issue with compatibility (on the Windows side). I have done some online research into the errors that I receive, however I am really an novice/intermediate programmer and am unable to find adequate solutions to the initial problems (as shown below).Â
Once I receive the run-time error 1004 I use the debug feature, etc. and end with "Can't find project or library. The initial error is probably just the beginning, but I am unable to go forward from this point.
I have just upgraded to Windows 8 and I get the following message when trying to start Windows 8. "Unable to load the Parallels driver / problem ID 352"...I have tried running the Disk repair permissions and disk utility permissions and reloading Parallels 7 as suggested by Parallels.I am running OS X 10.9.4
I bought my Macbook Pro 13" in July 2010. The only main reason that led me to buy one is the idea that I can make life easier with OS X but also be able to use BootCamp for windows whenever I want. However, it seems that BootCamp crapped out on me, I can no longer fully install windows (Kept getting stuck at "completing installation"n)Â I've been tracking reviews and what not since Lion came out and most people with my model of MBP are saying that it slows down the MB's process quite a bit. There's nothing I can't stand more than a laggy system. Is there anyone with my model of Macbook Pro who upgraded to Lion finding it smooth sailing on your machine? I just really want BootCamp to work again and the only thing I haven't tried is upgrading my OS X.
