Hello, I have what I am sure is a stupid question but I cannot seem to find the correct answer. I want to use the LPT port for a DomU to create a print server but I cannot figure out how to pass the LPT to the DomU. Can any kind soul point me in the right direction? I know this should be drop dead simple but I am having a hard time finding the information. Thanks for any help, Jon _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Only PCI or USB devices can be used by DomUs and even this depends on your hardware and the DomU (hvm or pvm). If you really need to have a LPT-Port in DomU I would suggest you get some kind of usb-to-lpt hardware-device. But this is only as far as I know, so maybe there is a solution to your problem, that I don''t know.
