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.


Thanks
Mark
