Answer 1

Whoa, whoa! those people said alot. The easiest way would to buy a "wireless print server" below is the selection of print servers you can find at compUsa stores.

Answer 2

to get a Share going you'll need to run the Network Setup Wizard on your Desktop with the printer connected and enable File & Printer Sharing and Pay close attention the the Workgroup Name, when the Wizard finishes select the Close Now option. You may need to reboot the system it really depends on what going on. Once you have the master computer running open the Printer Window and right click on the Brother Printer and scroll down to the Sharing option and left click on this. A new window will be opened where you need to click on the box to share the printer and it should auto name it as Brother something then Apply the setting and close down.

Now open your NB and start it up and run the Network Setup Wizard on it and enable the File & Printer Sharing option and make sure that the Workgroup name is the same as the one on your desktop then when the Wizard is finished close it down and reboot if requested. Then open the Printer Window and click on Add Printer at the next pox chose Network Printer and then Browse if the Printer is sharable it should appear on the list of Printers connected to another computer on the same Workgroup then all you need do is left click on the Printer and accept the question telling you that some software is about to be installed and just follow through.

First off I'm assuming XP on both PC and Laptop and your network is setup so you can browse to the PC from the laptop.
ON THE PC
1 click start
2 printers and faxes
3 right click printer you want to share
4 Click radio button share this printer
5 give it a name
6 Apply/OK
7 Make sure both computers are in the same workgroup default is workgroup which is fine. If you haven't changed it this is what it will be
ON LAPTOP
1 see steps 1 and 2 from above
2 Click add printer
3 Browse for printer
4 Expand the PC's Name the printer is on
5 double click the printers name
6 Default yes
7 Click Next then finish
GO print!!
That's as simple as it gets, if you have changed the defaults you of course would have to take that into account.
Hope this helps

You print them the same way that you'd print them on a wired network.

The media (air or wire) is irrelevant.
