I have a laser printer at my house that is shared via an ethernet cable to the other computers in my house. I have this one for work though that connects to a vpn network outside my house. Not surprisingly, it doesn't see the printer when it is connected to the vpn but I was curious if there is a way to set it so that the computer still looks on my homenetwork for printers even though it is connected to this vpn.
Thanks,
Stephen

Your VPN needs to be setup as a split tunnel so you still have access to local devices. You'll need to ask your IT department if such a tunnel is available.
