Local Printer Not Available in Remote Desktop on XP Home

The scenario is this; I have a home user that connects to
his corporate remote desktop via XP Home to an XP Pro
machine. He sees all of his local and remote drives, all
of his remote printers but cannot see his local printer.

Is this feature not available in XP Home? I have
searched the KB but have come up empty. If I connect to
his machine via Remote Desktop from my home machine
running XP Pro everything shows up.

Firewall is turned off, the printer is shared. Any Ideas?
