+ If asked to install software, choose your printer + Choose to add/create a new port and select “ Standard TCP/IP Port” Right click on the grayed out printer and choose “ Printer properties” and go to the “ Ports” tab. In my case in Win10 20H2 the printer showed up in the device list grayed out. + Choose “Add a printer” If a wizard comes up, choose “Local printer attached to this computer” + On a computer, go to the Control PanelDevices & Printers + Install the printer OEM software/drivers on the computer/device first. The IP(s) assigned to the VM(s) are in the range 10.211.55.xxx and are basically on a different network from the printers. To make the shared connection work, the software creates what amounts to an internal Router, in this case, with IP 10.211.55.1, which has its own DHCP server. But there can’t be multiple devices with the same IP address on a network. When the VM(s) are used, they must share the Mac’s one network connection. The Macs are assigned IP addresses by DHCP from the Router in the range 192.168.1.xxx. The Macs are all running Parallels Desktop virtualization software and support from one to as many as five VMs running various versions of Windows. With static IPs, the printers do not change their network location.

220) that is not usually frequented by the DHCP assignments. I have assigned a static IP address to to each of the printers in the upper IP range (.200 and. The method would be the same for printers wired to the Router. I have both an HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 and a Brother MFC-J435W connected to the Router by WiFi. The Router has standard IP settings of 192.168.1.1 and serves DHCP to the peripherals. I have Macs connected to my Router by Ethernet and/or WiFi. I don’t guarantee this will work for you, but I have been using it for years. This is a suggested setup for a Private home network that may have one or more segments, where devices attached to one segment cannot print to a printer attached to another segment as described in this thread.
