Can I connect an XP Home PC to a Printer on an XP Pro PC?

01-21-2007, 01:07 AM

On my XP PRO machine I have shared the printer and I can see the XP HOME
machine. However, I cannot connect the XP HOME machine to the printer on the
XP PRO machine. Is there a way to do this or is this a limitation of XP HOME.
