    I can no longer print to Mac printers from Win XP. What is a work around since all the posts say that "Show Page Setup Before Printing" has been been removed from parallels?

    was there ever a solution to this? I just purchased parallels 19 in order to print on XP after an upgrade to sonoma and I can print in Windows 10 but not in XP.

    The solution I found was to add the printer in XP via and not use the shared printers via Parallels:
    1. Click "Start" and then click "Printers and Faxes".
    2. Now click the "Add a printer" option and click the "Next" button in the Wizard screen.
    3. Select the "A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer" option and click "Next".
    4. Enter "http://" followed by the IP address of your printer under URL below Connect to a printer on the internet or on a home or office network and click "Next"

    5. Select the appropriate driver ( you can find an XP driver)

    That should have been "fingers crossed... you can find an XP driver for your particular printer"
