Same problem:
Virtual PC 7
E-MAC
VPC sees the Virtual machine, spools, then locks-up.

So,
I loaded the HP6940 print driver in Windows. VPC sees the 6940 when selected, spools, then locks-up.

I remembered to enable the USB port.

The printer acts normally on the Mac side.

Any ideas?

Follow the steps in this article:

YOU MUST INSTALL THE EPSON AP3260 DRIVER TO GET IT TO WORK. DOESN'T
MATTER WHAT KIND OF PRINTER YOU ARE USING.
