VirtualBox printing from a DOS virtual machine
Printing from DOS programs to Windows printers is pretty easy if you have an old Windows version running on a VirtualBox virtual machine.
Problems come if you have a plain DOS virtual machine installed on VirtualBox.
This video shows how to redirect the LPT1: port on the DOS VirtualBox machine and send the DOS prints to any installed Windows printer.
Preparation:
VirtualBox settings
Redirect COM1 to a Raw File
Setup Printfil to check for that file
Let's go:
Start the DOS virtual machine
Mode LPT1: = COM1:
That's all. Now:
Print from a DOS program to LPT1:
Close everything
Printfil captures the DOS print
