    Hi all, I am new to Parallels. I am using the Windows 10 on my Mac, and I am not seeing printer option here. It says printer is offline...what do I do?
     
  2. Hi MikeA6. Please make sure that the printer is working fine on the Mac side and let us know whether the printer is connected through USB port or it is a wireless printer.

    These steps might work if the printer is connected directly to Windows. If it is shared from Mac, then we need to check some settings on Mac and reinstall Parallels Tools.

    Use it a lot, never had a problem with USB connection. Maybe just try a few different USB devices and unmount in Mac then retry the Parallels option for "use device with Windows"? Another option, check the device manager. I had a similar situation - and my printer was in Control Panel -> Devices and Printers, listed under a separate category "Unspecified" with category Unknown as a Virtual Printer.

    Well this is a common problem that many Windows 10 users are struggling with, due to different reasons like unfinished printing jobs in queue, Connection between computer and printer is slow or unresponsive or due to outdated printer drivers.
    And to fix it try the solutions given like
