Re: accessing shared printed from virtualbox client
I'm getting behind (or maybe I started there).

If I try to set up a network printer on XP at
http://192.168.1.2:631/printers/LaserJet_5MP
there is no error in /var/log/cups/error-log, but the XP "Add Printer
Wizard" says
Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed
incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the
server.
If I try to set up a network printer on XP at
http://10.0.2.2:631/printers/LaserJet_5MP
I get the same Windows error, and /var/log/cups/error-log shows this:
E [02/Apr/2011:21:31:37 -0400] Request from "localhost" using invalid Host:
field "10.0.2.2:631"

It shows
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock

lpstat -t does show that name.

I put this in cupsd.conf and restarted /etc/init.d/cups. Then I tried to set
up the XP network printer with the URL you suggest, but I got the same XP
error shown above.

I'm not sure what this means. It is listed in /etc/services and in
cupsd.conf.
