# Configuración de una impresora USB

Usted puede conectar una impresora USB directamente a Windows. En este caso, la impresora no está disponible en macOS. Si desea usar la impresora para imprimir desde macOS y Windows, consulte [**Compartición de una impresora Mac**](/landing/pdfm-ug/v26-es-es/guia-del-usuario-de-parallels-desktop-para-mac-26/uso-de-windows-en-su-mac/impresion-desde-windows/comparticion-de-una-impresora-conectada-a-su-mac.md).

Para conectar una impresora USB directamente a Windows:

1. En Parallels Desktop, inicie Windows.
2. Una vez iniciado Windows, instale el controlador de la impresora. Si desea información detallada acerca de la realización de esta acción, consulte la documentación del fabricante de la impresora. Generalmente encontrará los controladores en el sitio web del fabricante.
3. Realice una de las siguientes acciones:
   * Si la impresora USB ya está conectada a su Mac:

     Si Windows está en modo Coherence, haga clic en el icono de Parallels Desktop en la barra de menús, seleccione **Dispositivos** > **USB** y seleccione esta impresora en la lista.

     Si Windows se muestra en otra ventana, en la barra de menús del Mac haga clic en **Dispositivos** > **Impresora** > **Impresora** y seleccione esta impresora en la lista.
   * Si la impresora USB no está conectada a su Mac, conéctela. En la ventana **Nuevo dispositivo USB detectado**, conecte la impresora a Windows.
4. En Windows, siga las instrucciones del asistente de **adición de hardware nuevo**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pdfm-ug/v26-es-es/guia-del-usuario-de-parallels-desktop-para-mac-26/uso-de-windows-en-su-mac/impresion-desde-windows/configuracion-de-una-impresora-usb.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
