    Don't worry - HP is the default driver for printers in Parallels. It works for most of basic printers. If you have some specific printer and need to print some Autocad documents or similar - it is recommended to install appropriate driver manually

    YanaYana: thanks, but how did it install without me choosing to? It just auto installed. If it first installed when i first installed windows i would of get it, but not after 1 month. Please any info would be appreciated.

    Shared printers can be configured at any time during the Virtual Machine usage. In Parallels Desktop 7 their status is being checked every time at VM start - if Printers configuration had been changed in Mac - Parallels VM will automatically adjust them in WIndows using the default HP driver
