    Hello Bradglaberson,

    If you are connecting the printer to your VM as a USB device, you can only use it by Mac and by Parallels in turn. To avoid shutting down Windows each time you would like to print from Mac, you can disconnect the printer from the VM through Parallels Desktop menu bar -> Devices menu.

    Best regards,
