XP Home supports printing. When I set up my printing I had a problem with Norton but I think that has been fixed now. From the tower (main system) set up the printer for sharing. Then on the laptop look at the network devices and if you see the printer, share it. Should work.

If not, shut down Norton and see if you can connect.
