OK, that is making sense. CUPS is receiving a request from localhost
(because the guest OS is running on the host), but the guest is
providing the address 10.0.2.2:631 in the HTTP header of the request.

To work around the problem above, tell CUPS to listen on the external
network interface as well:
Listen *:631
And then configure the guest to connect to the external IP address of
the host, which appears to be 192.168.1.2:631.

You will probably need the @LOCAL line advised by tv.debian.
