[Klug-general] Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity and then VirtualBox printing

[Mike Evans]

Given that your printer appears on port 631 it seems to me that you have 
a CUPS printer configured.  (That is, you are sharing via CUPS rather 
than SAMBA)

CUPS protocol is basically an http service - which means that you can 
contact the server by pointing a browser at it.  So you can test the 
accessibility of your linux from your windows by using MSIE to access
http://192.168.2.2:631 and you should get a CUPS info page, and be able 
to look up the status of your printer by navigating around with your 
browser.

If that all works then the issue is most likely something you have to do 
with your windows installation.  You probably did it on your old one had 
forgot (ahem) to document it :)

If it doesn't work, but you do get a response from your linux browser 
when you point it at localhost:631 then your problem is with your 
network bridging between the two VMs.

Good luck.
