A user wants to print from their laptop to our network printer but they have
XP home as OS...how can I set this up?

You can't. XP Home cannot join a domain.

You'll need to give more information to get a meaningful answer. Is this an
Ethernet connected printer or one shared on a workstation? Can the
workstation see the printer? Are rights managed by a domain controller?
It's definitely doable, but necessary actions depend on the configuration.

Well,
there might be a possibility. If you are able to access fileshares you could
install the Aloaha PDF Suite, share the autoprint subfolder and the XP Home
user just drop their files into the autoprint folder.
