I think it must be possible but couldn't begin to tell you how. At work , from my laptop can send to about 20 printers around the building. In the one nearest me, the IT guys have just had to put a new print 'server' in to help the wireless connection. Not much help - sorry!!

Yes - it's dead easy.
First ensure that both machines are members of the same workgroup.
On the desktop PC, right-click the printer and choose "Sharing"
Click the "Share this Printer" radio button.

On the laptop, open "My network places"
Double-click "Entire Network"
Double-click the workgroup
Double-click your desktop computer
Double-click the newly shared printer.
