how to Share printer connected to WinXP Pro Domain pc with non-domain win7 laptop

I have the need to share a non-network printer with a Non-Domain user. The printer is attached to a Windows XP Pro machine that is part of my SBS2003 network and domain. It is already shared, and other domain users can access the printer, but I need to share it with a "guest" who will regularly need to print to it from his laptop running windows 7 home premium.

Thanks,

Ryan

Go to computer 1 (the one with the printer) select your printer, right click and share it if you haven't already

Go to computer 2 (the one without the printer) open the start menu and open a run promtp
In RUN type

\\computer1name

Then it will ask you to log in, log in with your domain credentials like so,
yourdomainname\yourusername
yourpassword

This should show you everything shared on computer 1 and you should now be able to right click on the printer and select connect.

Windows should remember the mapping.

laptop is Win 7 64 bit, printer is HP Laserjet 1000. So, there goes that idea! I split the points equally.
