Hi,
I'm trying to connect my Zebra USB printer directly to windows as there are no specific drivers for MacOS.
But when I connect the printer to USB, it get recognised in MacOs (I can find it when looking for printers) and it does not asks me to connect it to my VM.
I've checked that there is no "rembered connection" and that it is set to ask me every time I plug a device.
I've using // 20.x on macbook pro m3 max

Any idea ?

Regards.

sorry parallels v19.4.1
 
Have you tried doing the connection through the printer/device settings in Windows itself? I use a Wifi printer by Epson and it has no issues connecting to my Windows 11 VM running Parallels 20.1.1 but it worked the same (again via Wifi) before the upgrade to Parallels 20 but don't know if your printer is Wifi also or only USB.
