I am running an application using Paradox for Windows 5.0. (I know this isn't current but it was working well and I saw no need to change). It is running under Windows XP with all current windows updatesThe printer I am trying to configure is a Nec P6 with a parallel cable. My original PC computer had a parallel printer port and everything worked just great. Now, with a new computer, I have to use a USB to parallel printer adapter, so I am using a Keyspan UPR-112 multiport replicator. Another change I have made is that I am running Windows XP on VMWare Fusion on an Intel Processor MacBook Pro. All my other applications work well from Windows running under VMWare Fusion and I can get the UPR-112 parallel port to show up in the printer setup window of Paradox and shows up in the VMWare Fusion Virtual Machine setup as UPSH 112i Parallel. In fact on one occasion I did manage to print appropriately, but now I can't repeat that, and I get an error message saying , "No printer installed or Windows cannot Print". Does anyone have any thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gary
Interesting setup. I have a close friend who is doing something very similar. He too constantly runs into problems trying to run Windows applications on a Mac. It works, but problems constantly show up. I wanted to get that out of the way just in case others wish to run Windows apps on a Mac. It works, but be prepared for issues.
I guess my first question is does your printer work outside of Paradox? In other words, if you open up notepad, does that print? I ask this because you indicated it was working in Paradox but now it doesn't. So, I'd like to know if notepad is working.
