    Since updating to Parallels 11 and Windows 10 I don't seem to be able to directly connect to local printers, even if they are connected to my windows VM devices. This isn't too much of a problem because I can use them shared through the Mac, but the problem is that every time I print I go through all the Windows print dialogs, then I have to also go through the Mac dialogs :( Is there any way to print directly through the Mac without going through the dialog box? I understand it is good to be able to make changes, but 99.9% of the time I just want the stinking thing to print! This wasn't an issue with Parallels 10, it only started when I upgraded to 11.

    Not that I have seen. Seems like when printing from Windows 10, the system has to first "convert" the print instructions to something that the Mac side can read and then opens the Mac print interface. Clumsy, but at least it works.
