Mac Printers Don't Show Up in Windows XP Guest

I have a Windows XP (service pack 3) VM running under Fusion 5.0.4 on an iMac (stock 20" mid-2007) running Mac OS X 10.8.5. Fusion is set to share the Mac's printers, but none of the three printers set up on the iMac show up in Windows. The Mac has no problems printing to any of the three printers. All three printers are networked via gigabit Ethernet. The Windows VM has no problems accessing other network resources (i.e. fileshares and the internet). Another similarly configured iMac & Fusion VM on the same network has the same printers set up and works as expected (the printers show up in Windows and can be printed to from any Windows application).

 

I've already gone through all the steps listed here with no success:

VMware KB: Troubleshooting printer connection issues in VMware Fusion

 

Other than the iMac's printers not showing up, the Windows VM appears to be operating normally. What else can I try to get the iMac's printers working in Windows?

 

Thanks!
