Default Connecting to printer at home

Hi, My laptop to set to connect to my work domain, and when at home I VPN
onto it with no problems. However when at home I would like to be able to
use a printer I have at home, that is connected to another desktop. How do
I set this up without mucking up the connection to my office server

thanks
A

Use Remote Desktop rather than a VPN. It supports most basic
printers (but not multi-function printers nor printer servers).
