I had the same issue. I solved it by configuring manually the IP port. The settings will be depending on the print server (1 or multiple ports) or the printer. In XP go to Printers and Faxes, and check the properties of the printer. The printer should NOT be shared. Check the printer port address. In my case, I have a 2 port print server, printer IP address 192.168.0.102 (in your case 192.168.0.101), LPR queue name L1 or L2 for each printer.

Subject: [vbox-users] Installing Network Printer in XP guest on Ubuntu Host I'm trying to get a network printer working, and can't seem to get the last step to work. The printer works fine for the host. Virtualbox 1.6.6 Ubuntu 8.04 Host & XP Pro guest ------------- In XP Add Printer Wizard Connect to a printer on the internet or on a home or office network. URL http://192.168.0.101:9100/printers/BrotherHL-2070N ...This will cause the printer output: POST /printer/BrotherHL-2070N HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/ipp User-AGent: Internet Print Provider Host: 192.168.0.101:9100 Content-Length: 141 Connection: Keep-Alive Cache-Control: no-cache But then the wizard reports that it can't find the printer. -------------- Below is some sys data I collected trying to get this to work, although I don't know if any of this applies. Any help to get this working would be much appreciated. It will save my college student daughter a long trip to complete a simple homework assignment.
