    Hello!

    Im started to use Paralles a little while ago, because i need Windows to use my HP LaserJet 1018 (its not supported for Macs). Anyway, now i have a new Mac and after installing Parallels i plug in my Printer (USB). The clasic window "Would you like to enable the device with your Windows image" or something poped up. After i clicked OK parallels went DEATH. I've done it again a couple of times and the same thing happens. It just freezes and i have to Force Quit it from the Finder. This happens with or without the printer's software installed.

    Its weird, cause with my old mac (with parallels too) that didnt happened, and i was able to print with no probs.

    Hello,

    when it asks if you would like to enable the device with your Windows image, try to click "No" and check if the device still works or if it at least Parallels doesn't freeze.

    Best regards,
    Alicia.
