I installed a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, but my virtual XP doesn't see it.

I hooked up a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer to my ACER desk top running Windows 7 Pro. I also have a virtual Windows XP. The printer works fine on the Windows 7 Pro os, but the virtual XP does not see it.  It sees my Brother and Samsung printers and prints to them just fine.
