Did you upgrade VirtualBox during the Ubuntu upgrade? I assume so. You
will have to update the guest additions installation for the Win2k
guest. Also, did you set before a USB filter to grab the USB printer?
You do this in the VB gui before you launch - the USB enable check box
might not be checked.
