printing from guest pc without host pc on

Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to send documents straight to print
from my guest pc (which runs vista) to the printer on the host pc (runs xp)
without the host pc being turned on?
I'm sick of having to turn the host pc on everytime I need something
printing off from my other pc.

Can't be done.

Get a network print server, put the printer on the network, and then you
don't need a host PC.
