For background, Parallels Desktop is a means to run Win/XP on an Intel Mac,
giving the benefits of both systems.
It is working well, all except the printing to a local machine. The concepts for
printing are the same as printing from XP to a printer attached to a Mac,
ie: Add Network Printer, ignore the true printer make/model number and use
the Apple Laserwriter PS or Apple Color Laserwriter PS print drivers. The print
job gets spooled via the network to the remote printer. In this case, it's
the printer attached to the same box, just being operated by the other OS.
I've seen Parallels Desktop print for other Macs, just not the one I'm working on
The setup goes well up to the point of installing the Apple LZ drivers where
it complains 'operation could not be completed'. grrrr.
Parallel Tools is installed correctly and the Mac Disk Tool was run to verify and repair
all permissions. Attempt to reinstall the network printer still fails.
Any Ideas?

I can print from all Mac applications. Cannot print from any iMac Parallels Windows XP applications. Have downloaded drivers several times for the XP environment. All connections good (USB). Did shutdowns and restarts of computer and printer. Get 'err-31000' in the print status window. Here is full message:'pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000 can't open `/private/var/spool/cups/tmp/4b0b15dccdb35'. Opening Printer Connection Failed: Unable to open the printer connection. Please check your printer connections and check for printer errors.' Please HELP!! many thanks!!

Parallels Mac Overheating; Mac Overheating Problems; Ive answered this before, been a Mac user my entire life: The sad truth is that 99% of games run better in windows simply because windows has DirectX. I have a Mac, and i still play 70% of my games in macOS, but if you're looking for performance windows is the way to go. Print from Windows using Mac printers with duplex printing and up to A0 paper size. Synchronize the default printer between Mac and Windows. Show macOS printing settings before printing from Windows.
