  - Click on ''Parallels Client''
  - Right-Click the connection -> ''Connection Properties''
  - Choose the ''Printing'' tab
  - From the ''Redirect Printers'' drop list, choose ''Specific Only''
  - In the box below that, **uncheck all printers you don't want redirected**
  - Click ''OK''

===== Fix Slow "Devices and Printers" Enumeration =====

For slow "Devices and Printers" enumeration (Control Panel), **as the regular user**:

Just remove **Parallels redirected items** (assumes default Parallels naming configuration):

<file>
Remove-Item -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices\*Parallels*'
</file>

Just remove **Windows RDSH redirected items**:

<file>
Remove-Item -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices\*redirected*'
</file>

To clear them all out (will be recreated at next logon; why not?):

<file>
Remove-Item -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices'
</file>

<note warning>Don't forget to **log out**, then **log back in** to restore active printers.</note>
