There is a printer at work I am trying to set up to share with the
other computers on the network. The machine that the printer is
connected to is running Windows XP home edition and when I checked the
printer properties, the share printer option is greyed out. The only
conclusion I have come to at this point is that under the login that I
use, I don't have the authority to make those changes and that is why
it is greyed out. Would this be the case? Any other suggestions or
ideas?

Yes, that is most likely the case. Only "administrators" can share
resources. You'll need to get someone with "administrator" priveleges to
share the printer.
