When the virtual machine is running is there a check mark on the printer which you click on the USB icon at the bottom right? I know for a long time I could not get USB devices to work in Fedora until they fixed it, I think it was some sort of udev/permission issue or something along those lines. Now that that's fixed I have had no problem getting my printer to work in my XP virtual machine.
