    I have a Canon MX870 set up on a wireless network that works just fine on the Mac side. But when I startup Win 7 in Parallels, Windows insists on setting up the printer as an HP Color LaserJet 2800. I can get the printer to work by dragging it over and plugging it in directly via USB, then directing the Mac to connect it to Windows. I can then set up the printer manually in Windows. Yes, the Canon drivers are set up both on the Mac and in Windows. And Printer Sharing is turned on in the Mac, but Windows can't find the wireless device.

    Any clues?
