First, you need to make sure ';File and Printer Sharing'; is selected on both machines. You can verify this from Control Panel %26gt; Network %26gt; [Your Local Area Connection] %26gt; Properties.





Then. you need you laptop to connect to your desktop. You can do this by typing ';\\[Desktop IP Address]'; in the Run dialog box. You should only have to do this once.





Finally, you go to Printers from Control Panel and add a new printer. In the dialog box choose ';Add a Network Printer.'; Vista will search for all networked printers. If it does not find it on its own, choose ';The printer that I wanted was not listed.'; From there you can browse the desktop for the printer.

Make sure you have the firewall on the desktop configured to allow print and file sharing.





If it's a Kodak printer, forget it, or get a different printer.
