You might be able to enable printer sharing on your desktop and then share the printer and then add that printer on the laptop as a network printer.

On your laptop, go to printers, assuming you're using XP...and install printer. It will give you the option to browse for your printer on your network and then automatically install. Tick the box that says 'share this printer on the network'. Should be easy enough.

You will need to setup a Network (not hard) this is done via your router.
Start > Settings >Control Panel > Network Setup Wizard and follow the on screen instructions.
