You can't. XP Home cannot join a domain.
 
Well,
there might be a possibility. If you are able to access fileshares you could
install the Aloaha PDF Suite, share the autoprint subfolder and the XP Home
user just drop their files into the autoprint folder.

You'll need to give more information to get a meaningful answer. Is this an
Ethernet connected printer or one shared on a workstation? Can the
workstation see the printer? Are rights managed by a domain controller?
It's definitely doable, but necessary actions depend on the configuration.
