My work laptop has me logging on to it's domain. However when I am home I
want to be able to print to the printers on my network, which is in a
workgroup. How can I connect to the printer from domain to nworkgroup? I
tried command line mapping, but keep getting "netowrk path not found"
 
You need to be part of the workgroup to access network
resources while at home. You might try setting up a hardware
or user profile that is part of a workgroup for home. Typically
when a docking station is used for laptop at work a hardware
profile is used.
 
Thanks, for responding. I was actually finally able to connect to my printer
without joining the workgroup. The way I did it, was to create a user on my
network workgroup that had the same id and login as on the domain my laptop
was a member of. I then mapped a drive to my home pc ( I couldn't browse to
find the pcv, I had to enter the path manually) and was then able to map to
the printer I needed (also mapped manually instead of browsing).
