It depends on how your printer is connected to your network. Is it hooked right into your network? Then just assign it an IP setup a new printer and print to the IP address.
Or is it connected to a desktop PC? If it's connected to your desktop PC then you have to start the TCP/IP print server, service, in the services under admin tools under the control panel. Then you'll have to setup a printer to print to a local TCP/IP port, type in the IP of the computer that the printer is hooked up to and it will forward it to the printer. You'll still need the drivers and such on your laptop of course.

I use the USB from the printer to my wireless laptop USB when I want to print, then unplug when I'm done.
