The ultimate goal is to share the parallel / serial / usb port for said printer into a VM that is hosted on the same machine, and the VM is running micros. Is what I'm attempting to accomplish even possible? On the surface it seemed like a no brainer but perhaps that was simply my naivety.Įpson TM-88iii -> parallel to usb cable -> windows 10: fails to do connect via any epson application, and windows makes it seem like the printer is disconnected. Any attempt to communicate with the printer via the epson utilities (logo utility, etc) all yield 'failed to communicate' in some form or another. I have installed the epson advanced printer driver on the host machine but the printer appears as 'not available' in windows. I have a parallel to usb cable that appears to be made by 'sabrent'. The host machine (hosting the VM) is also windows 10.
My desired outcome is to connect an epson tm-88iii printer to a windows 10 VM that is hosting a lab environment of micros 3700 v5.7.
