    Issue: There is a DOS based program on the XP platform that needs to print to an Epson FX-890 (9 pin). So far, we have been able to get Windows to print to it (test page and from MS Word to LTP1) but not the application we really need.
    We have Ghostview/Ghostscript installed on both the Mac and the VM. When we trigger a print from the DOS application, the Windows VM spools it, the Mac receives the spool and shows it in the printer job window but it is a stopped job and no output can be forced (at least what we tried). Since this is a critical business app I need to find a way to print from the DOS application to the Epson pin printer.
    Any ideas are more than appreciated.
