Re: LPT Port doesn't work properly
Thank you, I did the things that fth0 suggested. It still doesn't work.

Re: LPT Port doesn't work properly
As far as I can see, "fth0" asked for information, he didn't make any suggestion other than the implied "disable Hyper-v" (see HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)).

Re: LPT Port doesn't work properly
If you did what mpack (and me) suggested, you could now provide a new (zipped) VBox.log file that does not contain "HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)". Without deleting that line manually, of course.

Below the log.

Re: LPT Port doesn't work properly
Ok, Hyper-V is out of the way now.
Regarding the LPT port, I don't really know more than the FAQ already covers. The XP-2022-06-21-08-33-31.log file states "Parallel0: no unit", and the CFGM dump section for /Devices/parallel doesn't show the HostParallel driver any more, so the connection on the host side seems missing. Whatever that means.

Re: LPT Port doesn't work properly
@tristan202: Please reinstall VirtualBox on the host, this time using "Run as administrator" to ensure that you have sufficient admin rights to install device drivers. I don't actually know if a support driver is needed to hook into the host LPT function, but it's worth trying IMO.

Re: LPT Port doesn't work properly
Refreshing the topic:)
On a second computer (different motherboard, etc.) I created a new virtual machine with XP.
I typed:
VBoxManage modifyvm XP --lpt1 off
VBoxManage modifyvm XP --lptmode1 "LPT1"
VBoxManage modifyvm XP --lpt1 0x378 7
It worked. After a few months I have to run VirtualBox with XP on another computer. The machine has the same parameters as the one on which it runs.
However, here again I have a problem. On the host and guest machine, the LPT port in the device manager displays correctly (as LPT1, no conflict), but the program that uses the LPT key does not work.
I also tried exporting and importing the machine, but I get an error. I am therefore uploading the log.

Re: LPT Port doesn't work properly
This is entirely normal, it has always been that way with devices that attach to the parallel port of a PC. On some PCs they work, on other PCs they don't, and this is WITHOUT bringing virtualization into the mix. In large part this is why USB exists.
