Hi. I would like to know if there is a way that i can configure the printer on my home network to print when the host computer is offline? The host printer is on the 2nd hd with Windows 7 installed. The primary hd has Windows Xp installed. Any help will be appreciated.

The host system will need to be turned on. You can look into buying a print server but I'm not sure if that works with USB, which I assume your using.
