wireless printer

Hi all...
I'm having a problem getting my laptop finding a wireless printer.
I have 1 desktop and 2 laptop. The desktop is XP with a printer connected
to it. One laptop has XP and finds the wireless jest fine. The 2nd laptop has
Vista and does not find the printer. Would someone know what I need to do to get the Vista OS to find the printer?


Thanks

 

Q :Have you installed the printer drivers locally on the vista machine? They must be Vista compatible drivers.

A: Do I need to do this? The Vista laptop is trying to share the printer that is
is hooked to the Desktop PC? And the laptop that has XP never had the
trivers for the printer installed?.

Q: Is printer sharing enabled in Vista's Network and sharing centre?

A: I will check but I thought that the PC that had the printer hooked up to
it needed to do this, whech it does.

Q: What version of Vista.......Home Basic / Home Premium / Ultimate?

A: Ultimate OEM.

Q: Are you sharing folders / files / resources already between machines across the LAN?

A: No.

The Vista laptop is on the same network as the other laptop but it does not
fine the sharing printer?

Thanks
