XP32 on XP64 Host -- printing

Post by oao »

I have an HP all-in-one printer that does not have XP64 support, but it does have a XP32 driver.

Is it possible to install XP32 in a virtualbox on a xp64 host and use the XP32 driver to print from the virtualbox?
If so do I install the driver in the virtualbox?

Can the the printer with that driver be accessed wirelessly from a Vista computer if I install network driver in the virtualbox?

Which version of VB do I use with an Intel Core Duo T5750?

Thanks.

Your processor does not support hardware-v so you can only use 32 bit guests

If you can get the guest to see the USB printer then you should be able to print, but not sure about scan. That one is a hit and miss.
