What do you need to connect to it for? Printing? Scanning? Both?
The first thing I would do is make sure I can access the printer from
the host OS. Then see if CUPS/SANE on the guest will find the printer by
itself. If not, I'd copy the CUPS setup by copy and paste from the host
to the guest. For SANE, I'd copy /etc/sane.d/dll.d/hplip over.
The SANE driver will almost certainly be hpaio.
Another possibility for the printer is to make the host instance
sharable and use that share on the guest.
