Cannot print to Windows Server printers

My PC is a part of an Active Directory domain running on Windows Server 2012. I have two printers installed on the server using the Print Server role of Windows Server. I also have DNS installed on the server and my network adapters are pointed to that DNS address. The problem I am having, I cannot connect to those printers and get the following error:

Code: Select all

Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709). Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network.
If I disable the VirtualBox Host-Only Network adapter, then they all of a sudden work again. I have tried changing the DNS on the VirtualBox Host-Only Network to be the same address as my server as well, but this is still not working.

Anyone else seen this issue?

More info:
Printers are connected using TCP (they have their own IP address)
I also have IPP installed on the server

If you go into the advanced TCP/IP v4 of the Virtualbox Host-Only Adapter, uncheck "Automatic Metric" and set it to 9999. Then disable it and re-enable it.
You should see improvements.
