To share the printer, I opened the Printers and Faxes folder on the computer that was connected to my printer.
To open the Printers and Faxes folder
•
Click Start and then click Control Panel.
•
Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes.
•
In the Printers and Faxes folder, I clicked the printer's icon and, in the tasks pane, I clicked Share This Printer.
•
I opened the printer's Properties dialog box, and clicked on the Sharing tab.
•
I clicked Share Name, and then clicked OK.
That's it—the printer was immediately available for other computers to use.
Now that I had a network printer, I was ready to connect to it and print from other computers on the network.
To connect to the printer
•
I opened Control Panel, and clicked Printers and Other Hardware.
•
I clicked Add a Printer.
•
Instead of adding a local printer, though, I clicked Printer Connection and then browsed the network for the printer.
The whole process took less than a minute before I was printing to the network printer as though it was connected to the computer.

sounds like they're sharing an ip handle or something, examine the firewall settings to make confident that its no longer blocking off the printer. How is the printer linked to the computer? Is it a networked printer?

Move the printer over to the laptop and install the drivers.

It's a laptop, means it's mobile, take it upstairs to the printer.!!

ofcourse you cannot use a long printer cable because the length is too long and not the thing to do. you know you need a network either wireless if you get a signal or cable network
