Coupons.com site will not allow printing from a virtual machine

Host     opensuse 11.1

Guest     XP

One of my main reasons for a virtual machine was to avoid the "not supported" issue. This site requires one to install a "coupon printer" alegedly to enable Barodes and such to print without having to install those fonts. When I attempt to install this device on the guestOS, a windows dialog box pops up indicating that "installing on a virtual machine is not allowed". Any thoughts on a way to "trick" the installer? I sent an email to coupons.com - I don't expect much to come of it.

Welcome to the Community,

it depends on the intelligence of the software you want to install and how it detects the virtual hardware. Take a look at http://faq.sanbarrow.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=18&id=58&artlang=en for hints on what you could try.
