However I also run VMware 8.05 on the Win 7 OS and it has Windows 98 2e running in virtual mode. This program says that the printer port is working but I can't connect anything to it. I will need to investigate this feature
This is the subject of a discussion a few weeks back.
Based on what i read, even if you run a VM inside W7
W7 still blocks native access to the ports.
Thats why i just created a secondary HD with Native XP on it
and boot into that when i need to use apps that want
direct port access.
