Ok, got it working....here's how it worked for me.
I uninstalled the driver in device manager and rebooted windows 10.
When the machine was up again, the device had magically come back under device manager as LPT2.
So I looked in my .vbox file for the VM I am using and saw this:
Code: Select all
<LPT>
<Port slot="0" enabled="true" IOBase="0x378" IRQ="7" path="LPT1:"/>
<Port slot="1" enabled="false" IOBase="0x378" IRQ="7"/>
</LPT>
So it was looking for LPT1 in slot 0. On a hunch I changed it to this:
Code: Select all
<LPT>
<Port slot="0" enabled="false" IOBase="0x378" IRQ="7"/>
<Port slot="1" enabled="true" IOBase="0x378" IRQ="7" path="LPT2:"/>
</LPT>
I then changed the device manager settings to this:
And lo and behold it works now!
Hope this can help someone else.
