I had no idea! Never tried to print from the VM, so I didn’t know about this problem. That said, you should be able to print to file, then print the file later from the native OS, as an interim workaround. All I can think is some kind of generic class printer driver issue must be at fault here. Strange that Zinstall wouldn’t help, and I hope they suggested this workaround.

Post again here if you want me to stick my nose into this sitiuation on your behalf, and sorry for your troubles.

I am disappointed with the Zinstall XP product. While it created the XP environment and ported everything, I am not able to print from the VM. I followed the procedures provided in the Zinstall XP user’s guide with no success. Support from Zinstall is non existent. The company will not answer any basic questions. It requires purchase of an additional $100 of support. I am finding that if I want to print, I have to re-install the programs in Windows 7. This defeats the purpose of the Zinstall XP VM. The company is aware of these issues but doesn’t disclose them when they sell you the product. They sell the product by promising that “everything will work just as before”. This is not true if you can’t print.
