I have added the printer on my mac and shared. Parallels sees the printer but is unable to print a test page or anything else. Please advise.

The mouse and keyboard shortcuts I configure in the Logitech Options software work perfectly locally on macOS and also function as expected when running Parallels Client on Windows. However, when using the Parallels Client on macOS, these shortcuts are not being transmitted.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Is there a specific setting or workaround to...

It would be great if there could be a longer delay when the mouse goes to the top of the screen before bringing down the Mac Menu. This is how it works using Parallels Desktop, and it would be a lot more convenient to use Parallels Client if it behaved the same way.
