Printing from VPC2007

Host is Vista Home Premium. Guest is Windows XP Professional.

Printer is connected to the laptop via a USB cable. No problems printing
from Vista. How do I set up to print from Windows XP session?

Set up the printer on Vista for network sharing (you can find the
sharing menu by right-clicking the printer) . Connect to it in XP via
the share name and print away.
