Hi Larry,
I noticed in one of your prior posting that you did not want to world
to see your printer, just your VM.
I have a similar situation where I have a Windows 2003 Terminal
Server running as a VM on a CentOS 5.6 x64 server. I don't want
any of its traffic going anywhere but to the server and I limit
that as well with my firewall. The way I do it is to create a fake
Ethernet port called a Virtual Port. In my case it is eth0.5.
If you want to go this way, let me know and I will copy the list
my ifcfg-eth0.5 to give you a head start.
I do believe you can tell CUPS to only allow printing from
127.0.0.1 and eth0.5. There is a trick to this, so if you decide
to go the LPR/LPD route, also drop me a line and I will sent the
list my notes on the issue.
HTH,

By the way, I install LPR on XP and print to CUPS-LPD
