Cisco Catalyst Express 520 VLAN solution for shared office

Scenario: New client (Acme) has relocated and is sharing an office with Bacme. The wish to keep their networks separate, but Acme has a Canon iRC3200 which they will share. Bacme has a Cisco Catalyst Express 520. Acme has an unmanaged switch.

Question: Given the GFC and that all parties wish to minimise expense, our current thinking is that the simplest solution is to connect the printer to the Bacme switch, add that to VLANx, configure a second port as VLANx only, and connect the Acme switch to the Bacme switch via that port. Can that be made to work with the 520? Are there any configuration issues? (don't worry about the IP issues, we know how to sort that).

TIA, David
