Your printer must also have a wireless card built in, or else it won't work because to share printer it needs to be on a network.

You may need to turn on file and printer sharing in windows. Easiest way is to go in to network conections and at the side choose set up a home or small office network. This brings up a wizard that takes you through it and there is an option to choose the printer.

RAther than type in the name, browse for the printer and allow windows to enter information for you.
