 Well, maybe, or VMWare Workstation. The problem is that I don't just
have to get the app running, I have to install the OS, and I'm not at
all sure I can get the printer working transparently. I mean, from what
I understand it would be *either* you can print from QEMU/VMware, or
else the host Linux system, but not both...

 Sincerely,

 A Yale frat boy who was in the "secret" skull and bones society. He had a
 questionable service record that has been in the news lately. The one that
  according to factcheck.org lied repeatedly throughout all three debates.
  The one that in his recent years of civic service has not improved this
 country at all, in fact has been accused of neglecting duty. Yup, you know
           which one I am talking about. Don't vote for him.
