It could be easy using the pc you have attached your printer to and let it become a printserver. Well.. printserver is an expensive word for it, but you can SHARE your printer. If you look at printers in System Settings a list will show up of the printers attached to your system [Windows only]. Select SETTINGS from either the quick-menu [right-click if you re lefthanded] or File [? not sure]. It is SETTINGS, i m sure. Then there should be a tabloid indicating: SHARING. If you click on the tabloid, then things will become clear =gt; share your printer in the network. Check your computer-name or IP-address of it. On the laptop: Open My Computer. In the address bar you should put in [for example] \\pc1 After a while it will show up the shared folders and printers [if not, check the Firewall if it isn t blocked!]. The printer should now be visible. Use the quick-menu [right-click] and select Add printer [? something like that.... i m translating in my head so i m not sure if it s the English equivalent]. That s it! The printer should be installed after a minute or so as a network-printer. Good luck! ;-)

Your printer should have come with driver software; if it didn t or if you lost it, you can download current drivers for your printer from the manufacturer s website. Make sure you go to the manufacturer s website, though - there are a lot of third party quot;download servicequot; sites that will charge you, or will not give you the latest software. With the printer on and your laptop on, install the printer software on the laptop. There should be a section in the installation script where the laptop searches the network and finds the device - you should be up and running from there. One other thing though - if your wireless printer is cabled to your desktop machine, it s possible that you didn t set the printer up on your network. That can be done from the desktop machine with the printer software as well.

If it is a wireless printer, then couldn t you just install the drivers on the laptop for the printer? If not, then you would have to have the desktop and the laptop connected to the same network and then go to the control panel and setup the network to share the printer.

i would go for a network print server, they have wired and wireless.
