Printing over network from VirtualBox

[R. G. Newbury]

Has anyone figured out how to create a printer instance to print from a 
VirtualBox WinXP guest (on F10) to a network attached printer?

The docs did not help, nor did google. One 'answer' stated to enter 
//servername/printers/myprinter as the URI, with the implication that 
servername is the host computer the printer is connected to, and 
'myprinter' is some descriptor of the actual printer.

This seems a little disconnected when dealing with a network capable 
printer (all puns intended).

In F10 my printer is called Netprinter2 and accessed as 
lpd://192.168.1.12/dummy (It's an HP3955 MFC). Various combinations of 
this info produced only an error box to the effect that Windows could 
not find a printer...
Can anyone help?
