I am having an issue where I can no longer print from the iOS side on my Macbook Pro; I am only able to print from the Windows/Parallels side. The print job sits in the queue with a message reading "Printing - GenericClass: waiting for device".

When I first printed a document from the Windows/Parallels side, I recall a window popping up asking which operating system I wanted to print from, and so I had selected Windows. Did this somehow create an issue with printing from my iOS side? Thanks for the help.
 
If your printer is a USB printer you most likely assigned it to you vm when you selected windows from the pop-up menu. With your vm on eject the printer from your USB devices. Then shut down your vm. Next with your vm selected but not on, go to Actions>configuration>hardware>printers (Make sure that share mac printer is checked).

That should make your printer work for both mac and windows.
