Print sharing over VPN

Trying to connect Windows Server 2003 to a VPN client's
printer. This works if the client has Windows XP Pro,
but not with XP Home. When the client is using XP Home,
the printer is visible on the network, but when I try to
connect, I immediately receive an error stating that the
printer could not be found. At the same time, folders
shared on the XP Home client are accessible. Any
suggestions?

I can't resist asking. Why would you want a server to print to a VPN
client's printer?

Long story. The client also connects to a terminal
server. I am using the VPN as a work-around for the
printer limitations of terminal services (Printer does
not support printing to LPT1, occasionally spits out
garbage when trying to print) The client will be
printing to their own printer through terminal server.
