I presume these are both Windows machines.
This isn't a wireless problem. On the PC with the printer, you need to open the printer properties and "share" the printer.
Then on the laptop, add a printer, and follow the directions for a printer attached to another PC on the network.

You may also have to open up some access permissions in firewalls that might be running on either PC. It's possible that the router itself might have to be tweaked.
You snipped everything that I wrote, but that's okay, I went back and looked at the URL I posted.
There should have been a reference to the WindowsXP-SP2 firewall, like maybe

No, just the link to the Microsoft article which didn't mention firewalls.
If I actually had, it would have been OK, because your original article is still there for anyone to read.
Right you are... a little brain fog there. Both in not fully reading the
2001 outdated article to make sure firewalls were mentioned, and in not recognizing my own handwriting in the post.Cabling-Design.com Forums website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here.
