Printer in VirtualBox

I have just upgrade to WIN7, 64 bit, and find that my printer, a HP LaserJet 5P, will no longer work - HP don't supply drivers for 64 bit systems. The printer worked beautifully in XP, and I now wonder if it will work inside Virtual Box. If so, it might be worth installing Virtual Box. Documents that I might want to print would be generated outside Virtual Box. Would this present a problem?

Thanks for any help or advice.

HP Laserjets mostly work with PCL.

Better try a driver for another Laserjet type on the host.
