I've got some things that I've looked and typed up on my laptop computer that I need for school, but I am unable to print. This is the only computer that I use when I'm home, I have a desktop computer (which my printer is connected to) also, but it doesn't work. Is there any way I can print things I have on my laptop using the printer I have? I know the printer that I have is connected to my other computer and isn't set up really to work with my laptop.
If this isn't possible, would it be possible to use my laptop at school and print things in the computer room, where all of the computers are set up to work with one printer?

If you want to print to the printer you have you must physically attach it to the laptop with the proper cable. Normally USB A/B if it is a newer printer. If the printer is a common one and you are using Windows XP it may be able to install the software driver automatically and setup the printer. If not you'll have to install the printer manually.
As far as printing to your schools printers, you have to check with your school to see if they allow public printing. There's no way we can know what school you go to and what their policies are.
