What you want to do is assign a physical parallel port to the guest. What this does is redirect the guest's parallel port IO to /dev/parport0, which is very different from what you want. As of now, we can only assign host usb devices to the guest. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
