LPT connection to HP DesignJet 450C (A0)

Post by stephen.biddlecombe »

Having installed virtualbox on a Windows 7 machine, then installed Windows XP into a virtual machine, then installed a driver for the HPDesignJet 450C printer the test page does not print.
Does anyone know how I can prove that the LPT1 port is visible within the virtual box? :x

LPT ports are not supported in VirtualBox.
