I've had two sessions with tech support and now waiting on contact from "next level of support" to resolve the issue. This is horrible. I've used PD 10 and PD 11 for well over a year and no printing issues with Yosemite and El Capitan, but after upgrading to Sierra and PD12.0.2-41353 I can't print. Very frustrating! My only solution is to restore from Time Machine back to El Capitan and PD 11 and request a refund for PD12. But, then I can't upgrade from El Capitan to Sierra. I've waited since this morning for contact from next level support after two frustrating days with Parallels tech support unable to fix this problem.

Did you try the Bounjur app as a workaround?
As I reported, I went back to version 10. And wait until the matter is resolved correctly.

It seems that it just does not work with text files and emails. Printing image files is not a problem.
Is there any solution yet?

Hello KristijanV, please try to install Parallels tools manually and let us know if that makes any changes.

Thank you, but it's still not working.
Hello, please be informed that Parallels Desktop 12 Update 12.1.1 (41491) was released and it resolves an issue with printing from Windows using a shared printer from Mac, with error message "There was an internal error and Parallels Desktop is unable to print this document". Please update Parallels Desktop to the latest build. Latest version always available here: www.parallels.com/directdownload/pd12 Please note that Parallels Tools also needs to be updated (Actions > Update Parallels Tools) and let us know how it works. Thanks!

Do you get any error message while printing ?If so, could you please generate a Problem Report ID ?
Are you using network printer? If so, did you adjust the network connection of the virtual machine to "Bridged(Default Adapter)"?
Hi I have Desktop 12 Update 12.1.1(41491) too and still have the problem. After a clean reboot, first printing it's ok, the second appear on the "see what's printing" windows for a while and disappear, no requests, no errors.
On the eventvwr the only strange event is an error on System:
The EPSON_PCS_Parallel_Port_Driver service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the device specified.
But if you try to print to any printer also to PDF (Mac) doesn't work. It works only the PDF, XPS local.
I tried both USB and Network printers

Reinstalled Parallels Tools. From notepad it prints. From Office suite nope... from excel I've an error memory error message.
Also Adobe Acrobat 15, doesn't work
Trying with Microsoft Edge I had an internal Error sent to Support ID: 14218219, but next try with another page was fine.

I have the same problem I think. My windows programs - specifically Word - see my printer but its an all in one printer and it seems to have selected the fax and not the printer itself... I can't seem to activate the normal printer, in fact I can't seem to find the normal printer
