Alan, You got to remember that a VPN will allow a remote computer to appear as though it were a node on the network. So I suggest that you share your home printer. Then on the PC your connecting to with VNC thru the VPN print to it. Since you are now a node on the network there should not be any reason the other pc that you are connecting to thru VNC should not be able to see it.

I suppose if I am using VNC WITHIN our LAN, I can use printer sharing. However, I am coming in from the outside. What do you think would happen if I first established a VPN connection and THEN started up VNC? I will have to try that.
