networking a printer.
Hey guys.
I have a printer hooked up with my desktop and i cant hook it up to my laptop because it's not a usb one.

well i was wondering how to use that printer with my laptop.

i have wireless internet.

is there a way i can print from my laptop while it's hooked up to another computer?
