When I'm VPN connected to the office, I can't print to
the printer connected to my home network. I've been told
that my computer will work if I use a "dual tunnel" VPN,
but my IT folks won't permit it. Is there any way to get
my XP-based computer to print to its local USB port or
print to file and trick it into sending the print job to
the home printer? There must be a trick here somewhere.
 
As you were told "split tunnel" is the only way you can reach your home
network.

Only other choice is to attach the printer locally to the machine which does
a VPN.
