[feature-request] parallel port

[Karol Sikora]

Hi, I need to use parallel port in my virtual machine, but virtualbox doesn`t support it. It`s that possible in the future?

Thanks, Karol Sikora

Work is going on but with low priority.

Thanks for the answer. I`ll wait for this possibility... I know c++ slightly, but if I have received indicators, I would try to help.

(Sorry for my english if I have done mistakes, but I learn it for 3 months...)

I too would very welcome parallel port support, caused by some dongles needed to run some applications.

Please!.. i need parallel port support. I had to install qemu to work with the port, but this goes very slow

[Gaspar]

Is valid this?

<LPT>

<Port slot="0" enabled="true" IOBase="0x378" IRQ="4"/> <Port slot="1" enabled="false" IOBase="0x378" IRQ="4"/>

</LPT>

My VM don't work.

Hello !

Please count me in too. I would really appreciate to be able to use my old but still fully functionning Artec scanner on my Linux box. And it has only a parallel port.

Thanks !

Hello,

I have dongles for software licensing, new PCs don't support older windows versions so I'm using virtual box to run those applications, I hope VBox support parallel port on a near future, thanks!

Hello, I also desire this feature (specifically for updating firmware on printers).

Parallel port support for Windows Host on VBox is in development stage. Trial build with parallel port support is available, if you want to try please let me know. Please note that the build available is a development one only, not related to 4.1.x version.
