Issue with default printer not saved in Parallels 12 with Windows 10 VM

This issue has been there for a while (it was present before the upgrade from Parallels 11 to 12).
I use a Windows 10 VM and the default printer isn't saved anymore. I only have this issue with parallels. All my other native windows installs remember the default printer after a shutdown/restart.

Anyone would know how to solve this?

Thanks!

 

Hi @EmmanuelO1
Please take a snapshot of your virtual machine,Actions > Take snapshot... before you proceed with instructions below to be able to revert all the changes.
1. Remove all the printer in Windows 10 VM. Go to control panel > Devices and Printers > Right click on the Printers & choose remove device
2. Uncheck "Share Mac Printers with Windows 10" in virtual machine Configuration -> Hardware -> Print(Shared Printers):
3. Restart the Windows
4. Reinstall Parallels Tools
5. Check "Share Mac Printers with Windows 10"
Now, assign your desired printer as default one.

 

Thanks Guna,
I'm not sure I explained clearly, the driver remains, it's just the default that isn't always remembered. Also the default printer is only a windows printer, not a Mac printer, so I don't think what you suggested would help.
However, I've done a test and it seems to stick now. Let's hope it stays like that! If it doesn't I'll try your suggestion.
Thanks again for your help,
Emmanuel
