First, I installed the latest Epson Stylus Photo R300 drivers for Snow Leopard (from Epson website) and when I turned the printer off and then on again I get a Message Window that says a new USB device has been detected. "Do you want to use it for Mac or Virtual Machine?" When I select Virtual Machine (meaning the Windows side of Parallels) I could print checks from my Quicken program. But then I could not print e-mail or web pages from iMail or Safari on the Apple side. When I went to the Apple Print Monitor, I saw the print job was in the queue with the message "Waiting for Printer to be available". So I turned my printer off and on again and got the same message about a new USB device being detected. This time I hit Mac and as soon as the printer went through its startup cycle the e-mail in queue began printing. (I never had to do this before.) So apparently Parallels has a problem recognizing printer when you associate it with the MAC and you have to use this little work around until they solve this interface problem. It's a pain but at least I can now print my Quicken checks which is running on the Windows side of Parallels. Hope this helps somebody.
