Parallels alternative

"}"> mjbauer • Contributing Member • Posts: 784 Qimage Alternative Jan 14, 2007 I am switching over to the Apple platform and my main concern is Qimage, a great printing program. I know I can use Parallels and run XP and then Qimage but it their a Macintosh alternative to Qimage for printing multiple photos, manipulating them, resizing them for print etc? It is much easier to use then Photoshop and raw tools for printing--Mike Bauer "}"> Terry • Regular Member • Posts: 244 Re: Qimage Alternative In reply to mjbauer • Jan 14, 2007 I made the switch about 6 weeks ago, LOVE IT!! But I have to use an ext. hard drive to copy from the Mac to use/print on my PC laptop (using qimage of course) I know there is a alien skin plug-in called Blow Up I think but its costly and I have enough do do learning the Mac ( a Imac 20" w/2 GB ram) and I have just loaded Aperture.Will watch this in the hope there is an answer out there.PS Have been using Qimage for about 6 yrs. or more.Good Luck!Terry--Evolt 500 2 lens kit Epsons R800 & 925, R1800 "}"> Frag • Senior Member • Posts: 1,219 Qimage on Intel Mac In reply to mjbauer • Jan 14, 2007 Qimage works great via Parallels on the Intel Macs. I've been using that setup for the last couple months on my MacBook Pro. USB support for printers can be somewhat spotty at present, but the Parallels team's recommendation of connecting via Ethernet works great with my HP B9180 printer. Also, supposedly advanced USB support is forthcoming, but I'm quite happy with my Parallels>Ethernet>Printer combination.

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. My Google account is setup so it's passkey-only, so to sign into Chrome I need to be able to use the passkey that's saved in my Apple account.I had initially noticed that Bluetooth wasn't enabled in Parallels, so I did that.The issue is that when the QR code shows up, I scan it on the iPhone & wait for it to connect to Parallels to finish the sign-in, nothing happens. Yes Bluetooth onWin11 via Parallels does not work. I reported this earlier and have received confirmation from Parallels that this is the case.A workaround for you is to use a password manager that supports passkeys. I have today verified that Bitwarden and 1password works on WIn11/Parallels with my Gmail account authenticated with a passkey. Is there any update on bluetooth usage on Win11 via parallels? Trying to use a passkey from my iphone via the cross-device authentication QR code, but the iphone and the windows dont seem to see eachother. Share This Page

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. I have Windows XP Pro installed via Boot Camp. When I run my favorite radar application GR Level 3 when booted directly into XP, it works flawlessly. When I load the BC partion via Parallels however, GR won't display the radar. I know the radar image is smoothed with 3D support of some kind. I thought Parallels 3, having 3D support, would be able to handle this.I know this an obscure program, but I'd appreciate if anyone has anything to try. Probably not going to work. Parallels DirectX support isn't complete, and it does not support DirectX 9 yet. To quote from the GR Level 3 website:GRLevel3 uses your graphics hardware more than most applications. It accesses the hardware through DirectX 9. Ah, DX9, forgot Parallels didn't support that yet. Thanks for the heads-up. Share This Page
