Thanks for the reply
I am interested in printer only. As I stated in my email: The HP printer is wifi connected to my local network and is accessible by all of the computers on the network. This includes the host system. Right now the shared folder is probably more important because I can then switch systems and print a file from the host system.

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.
