Slow Printing Over Networked Printer
I have Windows XP Home (Guest) running on a Windows 7 64 Bit (Host) system. I have everything in stalled and it is generally running smooth. The only problem that I am having is printing. When I try to print it is extremely slow. Also, when I am in the process of trying to print if I am streaming video, the video becomes choppy so I believe that it is the network setup that I have for Virtualbox and not the printer. If I am connected to a Windows Work group and connected to a Windows 2008 Server, what is the best setting for adapter to be using? I currently have the network setup as "Bridged Adapter" using AMD PCNet FAST III but tried Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop and did not see much improvement.
