Hi Yasha,
You made me "organize" my thoughts. Feels weird!
0) pat you monitor gently and ask your computer's forgiveness
for installing Windows on it. And for accusing its parents of not being
married. Computers have long memories and are very vindictive.
(I think I am funny -- there are worse vices.) :-)
1) Linux networking: create a virtual Ethernet adapter. Modify to
the following to your taste:
------ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.5 -------
#DEVICE=ifcfg-eth0.5
DEVICE=eth0.5
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=192.168.254.255
IPADDR=192.168.254.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.254.0
GATEWAY=192.168.254.10
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=no
PROMISC=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
VLAN=yes
#DNS1=208.67.222.222
#DNS2=208.67.220.220
reboot and run "ifconfig -a" to make sure it took. You
"may" get away with restarting "networking". I'd just
reboot.
2) Virtual Box console:
Go into the settings of your guest and change Adapter 1
to "Bridge Networking". For the "name", use the pull down
and select your virtual adapter (eth0.5 in my example).
3) Cups:
A) set up your printer.
B) Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.254.*
</Location>
Make sure the second "Allow FROM" is the IP for your virtual
adapter (192.168.254.* is from the example)
C) install cups-lpd:
yum install cups-lpd
D) Edit /etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd:
disable = no
Then reboot. (I have tried restarting things. Learn from my
pain, just reboot)
4) XP Guest:
A) install LPR printing:
--> Control Panel
--> Add/Remote Programs
--> Add remove Widows Component (button on left column)
--> check off "Other file and network print services"
You will need your XP install disk's :\i386 directory handy. I
copy
mine to my c:\ drive
B) Create an LPR port for your printer
--> Control Panel
--> Printers and Faxes (Do not highlight any of them!)
--> File, Server properties
--> Ports (tab at top)
--> add port, LPR port
For the IP, use your virtual port's IP address
For the name, give it the exact name it is know as in CUPS
C) install your printer driver:
--> Control Panel
--> Printers and Faxes
--> "add a printer" (button on upper left, or use right
click context menu)
--> next and select "Local printer attached to this
computer"
--> next and "use the following port". The pull down
will have the LPR
port you created above.
--> finish installing your printer
D) test you printer!
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
