If that's the case it follows that Wordpad and the JVM must either: 1) use different virtualbox APIs for printing 2) use the same API but with some different parameter settings > Would need to write such an app, the one in question uses Windows > specific native libraries, and the problem just surfaced these days... > Looks like that might be unnecessary. I was suggesting ways to find differences in the path connecting an application running in virtualbox to the printer and to get some idea of where the differences are located. If Java can't wake the printer from powersave but Wordpad can, that tends to show there are at least two ways for an application to connect to a printer within virtualbox[1]. At this point I'd have a scout round https://www.virtualbox.org/ and, if I couldn't find anything there, ask the devs if they've run into this and/or can suggest a way of debugging printer start-up. [1] that wouldn't surprise me: historically printer handling has been something of an afterthought under MS operating systems. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
