PROBLEM : PRINT TROUGHT LPT1 IN VIRTUALIZED XP

Post by Lo0k3r »

Hi guys,
i've got a native windows 7 and a VM with Windows xp installed inside windows 7.
In xp i use an old program scripted for MS-DOS for Precision Wood Cutting with print only trough lpt1,
in windows 7 the printer (An old HP 840c) print without problems,
in the Virtualized xp, it says that there's no paper, the error led in the printer it's always off,
with another XP not virtualized, the printer works fine. i've always used the driver inside windows.
now, how i can print trought lpt1 inside my Virtualized XP using my HP 840C?
