Hey, I'm attempting to print from a laptop that is on a domain at work, to a
printer attatched to my desktop at home. The laptop is connected wirelessly,
and the internet works. But I can't get it to see the desktop. Any ideas on
how I can get it to print?

Here is how to use your home network's resources from your laptop
without changing any of the domain settings (important that you
don't!).

Thanks and credit to MVP Lanwench:

Once you've logged in using your domain account (using cached
credentials), and have an IP address on the home network, you can map
drives, use printers, whatnot, very easily - one way, in a command
line:

net use x: \\computername\sharename /user:computername\username <enter>
