Win7 in XP mode

================================================

I have a 1993 dot-matrix printer Fujitsu DL5800 that always ran well
in Windows XP (SP3) but now no drivers are available (that I can find)
for Windows7.

I still have the driver that worked in XP but how do I get this going
on Windows 7? I have already tried to use the the window
"compatability tab"in the program file's Properties, but this doesn't
work.

How about using virtual machine from microsoft, it's for free if you using
Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, or Windows 7 Enterprise.

But then XP Mode isn't available for those without Win7 pro/ult/ent.

Also XP Mode gets upset about its activation when run under VirtualBox
due to being locked to the BIOS provided with Virtual PC or VMWare
workstation.
