Hello,
I'm using libvirt on debian as host and Windows XP Home as guest.
I would like to pass the /dev/parport0 to XP to attach a printer.
I use virt-manager. When I add a parallel port as a "dev" type I got
this conf file:
....
<parallel type='dev'>
<source path='/dev/parport0'/>
<target port='0'/>
</parallel>
....
And this command line:
....
-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
-device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0
....
The first parameter is "tty".Should not it be "parport"?
Anyway I never see any parallel port on the guest with these options.
Even starting kvm from the command line.
While is seems to work immediatly using the kvm option:
"-parallel /dev/parport0"
Where i've made a mistake? Or how can I just tell libvirt to use the
"-parallel" option instead.
Thank's for your help
