    You need to uninstall the XP drivers and use the Bonjour drivers instead.

    From an old thread:
    I would recommend the following:

    Uninstall the printer drivers from Windows, using the Windows Add/Remove Programs function.

    Make sure the printer drivers are working properly when you print under OSX. If you have to reinstall the drivers in OSX, reboot. Also be sure to recycle the printer - i.e. turn it off then on again.

    Reboot the VM. Run the Bonjour printer wizard and select the generic postscript driver. If the Bonjour Print Wizard offers you the specific driver for your printer, it is OK to take it. I have an HP7310 and Bonjour found the specific driver so I did not have to use the generic postscript driver.

    However, this seems to work only if you have not tried to install drivers on XP, and just use whatever is already there. When I tried to use the XP Driver install CD from HP, it just gummed up the OSX drivers so they didn't work either.

    Also make sure that Printer Sharing is enabled in OSX.
