Can't find printers on wireless network

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

Windows XP Home cannot join a domain. If this is a work computer, you
should probably ask your IT Department to install XP Pro so that you can
correctly join the domain and install the printers.

If it's a workplace domain, the IT department should be dealing with the
