[Klug-general] VirtualBox hogs me printers

Good morning all,

VirtualBox works a treat for me as I have to use WinXP for an accounts 
program. Hosted on Mandriva 2008 everything works fine, except that with 
VB working it hogs the printers and any printing done in parallel Linux 
programs doesn't appear. When I shutdown VB I have to switch the 
printers off and on again to get whatever Linux sent to CUPS in the 
meanwhile.

Bit niggling. Anyone know a wrinkle that might help?
