On the pro machine, check to see if Simple File Sharing is enabled. To do this, go to Control Panel/Folder Options/View Tab and see if Simple File Sharing is checked there. If it is not, leave it disabled for now. Go to the Printer Properties and Un-Share the printer and reboot the system.
Now go back and enable Simple File Sharing. Reboot again and re-enable the printer as shared. Try the shared printer from the Home system again.
