"USB Device Cannot be Connected"

Thank you for your reply.
Could you check the same issue with the latest Parallels Desktop update 16.1.3 please?

 

Hi @Maria@Parallels,
Thank you for supporting this issue. The pop-ups are incessant. Even when my VM isn't in the active window, I get the bouncing icons in the doc when the error pops up. I've uploaded screenshots of my printers from both sides for your reference. Thank you.

 

By the way, is this fix related? https://kb.parallels.com/en/113749

 

Hi AndrewL29 - I think I have solved this.

In the dock, right click the icon and go to Control Center -> click the cog on the small pop up that emerges -> hardware menu -> shared printers -> uncheck the box for sharing printers.

boom

 

Thank you, SimonB21. I followed your steps and then immediately got the error afterward. HOWEVER, I haven't seen the error since. I'll monitor and see how it goes. Strangely, even with printer sharing switched off, I can access my Mac printers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Good luck! I only use parallels for playing a game through Steam (you can imagine how off-putting this pop up is for that!!) and when playing yesterday it didn't do this once so I am hopeful it has solved the issue.

 

It's been a few days and I havent seen those popups at all. Thanks Simon!

 

I have had the same issue for years. Every few seconds, I get this message:
There are no virtual USB host controller ports available in "Windows 10" for the "Virtual Printer ([printer name])" device to be connected.
Can someone please help with this
