This XP virtual mode is from a W-7 Ultimate 64bits and works well with a couple of 32bits devices, one of them a photo or slides scanner for digital conversion, and others 32bits programs.
My system is a Lenovo Laptop TP61p with a mini dock where I have access to a parallel port.
If I boot from a HDD with pure W-XP pro SP3 I am able to print to an Epson LQ-1050+ impact printer quite well. Same from Vista B SP2. This is also prove that the printers' cables are OK
But I would like to avoid swapping HDD and do the same through the Virtual XP-Pro Mode of Windows-7 SP1. The program installed the printer OK and I can hear it initializing when the system is turned on, but I can't even get a test print. LTP-1 is properly configure.
Is there a hack or a policy that could solve the problem? How can I make this work?
Anticipating a deluge of suggestions.
Cheers
