Shared Printer Does Not Work from Wireless Network Laptop

[Sole Dog]

I have a Windows XP Home desktop connected to a printer via USB and, I have
a Windows Vista Premium laptop connected through a wireless network. Print
jobs initiated from the laptop hang up in the print queue with a print error,
and also show up on the desktop under the print jobs as a print error. Print
jobs iniated from the desktop work just fine. Please help with a solution to
my wireless network printing problem.

Not a Microsoft Office problem - suggest you repost to a Windows group for wireless networking, or simply networking.
