That’s something to discuss with the company’s IT support. If they support “work from home” (very common nowadays) they might support “print from home” also.

I doubt if the OfficePC is relevant. Most likely you need the OfficeServer and/or the OfficeNetwork and/or the OfficeActiveDirectory and surely a VPN solution they support.

The workaround I used.

Until our office sorted this out I printed to a PDF then printed the PDF at home.
