Windows 10 Preview: Doesn't see my mac's printer.

Installed ok. I have network. Able to install Office 365. Can't set up the printer! The VM has an error. Windows says an unknown devices doesn't have a driver and it can't find one. Investigation shows that the driver is PnP. I suspect it's the printer. setting up the printer by hand gives me a printer, but no port to plug it into. The printer works on my win7 & win8.1 VMs. Has anyone had any luck?
 
I have the same problem. OS X printers don't show in Windows 10 Tech preview. I reinstalled Parallels Tools (just used the menu item, install seemed to go smoothly, rebooted VM), but still no luck.
 
Maheeshwar, the second solution (through explicit apple sharing and bonjour) works, but is a bit of a hack, I think. The first link describes the functionality as it is supposed to work, right? Seems like something in Win10 is not allowing it to see the Parallels default printer sharing. So although suggestion 2 works, I think there is still an issue there.
