    Perhaps you should take a look at plex86 <http://www.plex86.org/>
    In fact I remember reading an account of someone using bochs, the
    parent project to plex86, to reverse engineer a winprinter. Alas,
    I do not have a url for that, but it shouldn't be too hard to find
    using a search engine, I hope.
