Is anyone using Virtualbox 4 on a SL 6 x86-64 host running a MS Win XP 
Pro guest (presumably IA-32)?

If so, has anyone successfully gotten MS Win to recognize a local 
printer attached (and working under CUPS) to the SL 6 host to print to it?

I am trying to get Samba running on SL 6 to do this; it worked fine 
under VMware Workstation on RHEL 5 (CentOS 5).   I have installed two 
virtual NICs under VirtualBox, one configured NAT, the other host only 
adapter, and have checked for the IPv4 addresses assigned to both the SL 
6 side (vboxnet0) as well as on the MS Win side (via ipconfig under the 
command prompt window).  I can ping from the MS Win side to both the MS 
Win host only IP address and to the SL 6 host only IP address, and can 
ping from the SL 6 side to the SL 6 host only address but not the MS Win 
host only address.

Firefox, etc., seems to work under the MS Win guest, making me believe 
that I have Internet connectivity.

I cannot find xsmbrowser for SL 6.  I do have webmin and swat installed, 
and have tested that there is a local SMB server using konqueror to smb: .

I can supply the smb.conf file I that will help, or would appreciate a 
working sample from anyone who has printer working as I am attempting to do.

Thanks,

Yasha Karant
