Printing question for XP Mode Guest

I have Windows 7 as the host and XP Mode as the Guest and I am running version 5.01 of Player. 

If my printer is already  switched on prior to opening XP Mode then I have no problem in printing however if I switch the printer on  whilst I am running XP mode (and obviously make sure that I have disconnected it from the Host) then I get a prompt from XP Mode to  install a Printer Driver  If I ignore this and attempt to  print then I get no output until I close Player at which point the printer must be reassigned to the Host and printing continues  So should I attempt to install the printer driver as prompted from XP Mode or is there another way to ensure printing when in this situation

many thanks in advance

Mike
