Hi everybody,
Please help me to get my usb working on Parallels.
I enabled USB in the Parallels Configuration Editor, but when I connect a USB device, the systems tells
"USB device you are trying to connect to the virtual machine is being used by another application. Close that application or unplug the device and plug it again. Then try to connect the device again.".

I got it working when I did it first time, but somehow it doesn't work now. I'm desperate because I have HP printer 1018 and there is NO driver for this printer for Mac Os, so Parallels is the only possible option for me.

What should I do?
Thanks, guys

You could find an answer in Knowledgebase.

"Open Configuration Editor - USB Controller and check if it is set to Connect to Guest OS by default. Launch Windows, go to Devices -> USB in Parallels Desktop menu bar and try disconnecting - connecting again the device. Do not connect the device to the computer until you start Windows."
