Use Windows on Your Mac
CUPS performs the installation. If the installation is successful, the "Printer <name> has been
configured successfully" message is displayed. Now you can use this printer to print
documents from the virtual machine.
Set Up a USB Printer
You can connect a USB printer directly to Windows. In this case, the printer isn't available to Mac
OS X. If you want to use the printer to print both from Mac OS X and from Windows, see Share a
Mac Printer (p. 86).
To connect a USB printer directly to Windows:
1 In Parallels Desktop, start Windows.
2 When Windows starts, install the printer driver. For detailed information on how to do that, refer
to the printer manufacturer's documentation. Typically you can find drivers on the
manufacture's website.
3 Do one of the following:
• If the USB printer is already connected to your Mac:
• If Windows is in Coherence, click the Parallels icon
in the menu bar, choose Devices >
USB and select this printer from the list.
• If Windows is working in a separate window, click the USB controller icon
in the
Windows status bar and select this printer from the list.
• If the USB printer is not connected to your Mac, connect it. In the New USB device detected
window, connect the printer to Windows.
4 In Windows, follow the Add New Hardware wizard instructions.
