While direct printer sharing is limited, you can use a workaround. Connect the printer to a Windows 11 Pro or Enterprise PC, and then share the printer from that machine. The Home PC can then access the printer through the Pro/Enterprise PC acting as a print server. Alternatively, consider using a cloud-based printing service.
