Printer off line

I just installed Fusion 3.1.2 upgrade from 2.0.

Am running Mac OS X 10.6.6 on an IMac (3.2 Ghz, 8 GB)

Using Brother printer HL-2140 (says it is compatible with Windows XP)

My Virtual Machine is Windows XP home edition service pac 3

Everything seems to work fine except the printer shows up as off-line and jobs won't print

I can print fine from the Mac

I have gone through the various suggestion on how to fix and none seems to work (troubleshooting printer connection errors in VM ware (1014536), printing from within virtual machine, etc.

I have downloaded the latest driver for the printer.

I have reinstalled VMware tools

I have deleted the printer and reinstalled it.

I had the same problem in VWware Fusiion 2.0 and thought if I upgraded to 3.0 it might fix it.

Any suggestions??
