If you have IPP enabled on your xubuntu host, you'd set up the printer to print to port 631. So for example (I'll use a Win2KPro guest on an Ubuntu 8.04 as the primary and a standard 8.04 that has a Canon MP750 connected to it as the shared printer): Primary (Win2KP): Add printer via Control Panel|Printers - Network Printer|Next|Connect to a printer on the internet or on your intranet|URL= http://<ipaddressoftargetmachine>:631/printers/<printername> So for instance: http://192.168.1.100:631/printers/MP750 For some reason, the most recent updates of Windows doesn't like or understand: ipp:////192.168.1.100:631/printers/MP750 you need to use http even though ipp is being used via port 631. Interesting part is that I can print from a VirtualBox guest across my lan instantly, whereas if I do it from a guest on the same box it has a 10sec (or more) delay. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
