Adding Printer Windows 7 XP mode

[squid13]

I'm using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. I have a Canon Pixma MX310 that I use with it. How can I get this printer to work in XP mode?

squid13--What is not working? Did an installation disc come with the printer? Install the printer while in XP mode
XP drivers available here (use dropdown box for the various OS's).

A disk came with it, so I install it just like I did originally in my windows 7, only do it in XP mode. I can handle that. Thank You for your reply.

squid13--Hope that does the trick. Let us know the outcome.

Didn't work. I installed the driver from the disk and it showed no printer and said it wasn't installed. I installed the driver from canon web site, same thing. Shows no printer installed but it's in the add/remove programs.

I take it this is a USB connected printer? They cause a great many problems in virtual machines, I'm sorry to say. My recommendation, if you need to do a lot of printing from within a VM, is to invest in a network printer, particularly now they can be had very cheaply. It is simplicity itself to get a network printer working from a VM.

Your right it is a usb connected printer. I just thought it would be nice to have if I needed it but I can live with out it. If I need to print something I'll just go back to Windows 7 and look it up and print it from there. If I can't do that I'll just live with out what ever it was. Thanks to everyone for your replies.
