My laptop (XP Pro) is on my company's network domain. My home desktop (XP Home) is on its own workgroup. Both are on my home network. Due to logistical and wiring difficulties at my house, I need to have my printer connected to the laptop (the domain machi
ne) but want to share it so that my desktop (workgroup) can print to it. I can get this to work the other way around--if connected to the desktop, I can share it from there and then access it from my laptop. But when I connect it to my laptop and share it,
my desktop (workgroup) can't access it. How can this be solved? BTW, my desktop is set up for multiple users. The easiest thing would be to leave it connected to my desktop. Unfortunately, the printer is also a multi-function fax machine and there is no p
hone outlet for the fax near the desktop (which connects to my home network wirelessly).
