    Hi there!

    There is no Mac printer driver for an older GDI printer, so I cannot use the default Mac printer. When I go into the Paralllels devices menu and in the USB category, the printer is listed and can be marked. Then I was asked for the printer driver in Windows and I could print.

    Unfortunately, this setting is not saved. After every reboot I have to activate the USB printer. Is there any way that Parallels automatically remembers the USB printer?

    Greetings,
    B.

    Think I found a solution by myself.

    In the properties of Parallels you have a tab for USB. Under the presumely empty list is a "+"-Button. This gives you a list of all USB devices. I choose my USB printer and added it to the list. The last step is to change the right column of the entry to "Windows". Hope I remembered it right from the memory.
