2 networks & a VPN

I have a home PC (running XP home) connected to the internet through a
Linksys router & cable modem. I have a work laptop (running XP Pro) that
connects to the internet through a wireless connection to the router & cable
modem. The laptop connects to my work through a VPN (which logs onto the
domain at work).

I want to be able to connect to the printer (connect via USB to the home PC)
from the laptop without a cable.

Can I set up a home network without conflicting with the domain when I log
on to the VPN?

I need step by step instructions - I have read some of the posts here and
many are over my head technically.

thanks!
 
Before do that, make sure you can ping each other after establishing the VPN. This link may help,
