Doh! Yes of course that's why. What an idiot - I knew that (once!). So 
we can forget that then.
I now need to find out why the WinXP hosted on VBox cannot find the 
printers in the ubuntu 11.10 host. I think it is a permissions problem 
with cups because my other PC also running Linux cannot now print 
either. It seems the access to the printers has disappeared.
Still baffled.
