To change the LPT1 settings:
Note: If a guest PC is currently running, and you change the LPT1 setting, you must restart the guest PC.
The guest PC will attempt to capture the host PC parallel port at startup only. If the parallel port has already been captured, the guest PC will not be able to capture it. If the guest PC succeeds in capturing the parallel port, the parallel port is not released to the host PC until the guest PC is shut down.
The LPT1 port on a PC is typically used for a printer.
If you have a parallel device connected to the host PC, and you want to make it accessible to the guest PC, use the Host parallel port option, and specify the host port to which the device is attached.
