So the questions asked are: 1. Can the base OS(OpenSUSE) use the VM OS printer? 2. Can CUPS be configured to print to/forward print requests to a VM OS printer?
Now, what say ye?
I see ...

Well, I've never done it that way, but assuming the win VM truly functions as a real network win box, and assuming the win VM can aquire a lock to the hardware port, then the win VM printer can be "shared" just like any other real win printer. In that case the linux box would print to the shared win device as an SMB shared printer. This also assumes that the native linux firewall allows win VM share through. I mean its theoretically possible, and somebody somewhere has probably done it -- but not I says me.
Sorry I'm no help here. On the other hand, I really would strongly recommend that you find a native driver for the 800+ (also not familiar with that one) and configure it native via CUPS. You'll probably find that the linux driver for the 800 also covers the 800+. Also, you might want to contact the CUPS people and post your question there... they are quite good and very responsive--- also, they probably have a driver that will work for you. Thanks M Harris and Eberhard. I will give your suggestions a try and
