Hi,
According to me ,I feel the problem maybe because the printer drivers may not be installed properly while upgrading to Windows 7 or installing virtual pc on windows 7.
I have researched and found few steps which may help you further.
To configure a network printer for a virtual machine
- Navigate to the virtual machine desktop, and log on .
- Open Control Panel, and then open Printers.
- Click Add Printer. The Add Printer Wizard opens.
- On the Local or Network Printer page, select the network printer option and complete the wizard.
To print from a virtual machine
- Navigate to the virtual machine desktop, and log on if necessary. (You will be logged in automatically if you saved the credentials.)
- Perform one of the below steps:
- From the desktop of the virtual machine, right-click a file and click Print.
- Open any application that includes a print option, and then use the print command.
- All printers available to the virtual machine are listed. Select a printer, and then click OK.
You can also check the below link for installing printer.

Thanks,
