oao Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have a printer without XP64 support.I would like to know if it is possible to install a virtual XP32 machine on my XP64 system and use the XP32 printerdriver to print.I have read some Virtual documentation and it's not clear whether this is possible -- it may be that the virtual machine uses the host system's drivers (xP64) to print, in which case it defeats the whole idea.It also appears that Virtual PC 2007 does not support USB printers, which would require installing network drivers in the virtual machine, to access network drivers, complicating matters.The newer version of Virtual PC supports USB but it's not clear if it can be installed on XP64, as it was created for Windows 7 and requires the new CPU's with virtualization to work.Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.
