printer and file sharing

This is going to sound really dumb, but 12 months ago I got a laptop and set
up a wireless network to browse the net from the laptop. I cannot print from
the laptop and the only thing showing on network places in the laptop are
shared docs. on the laptop. Where have I gone wrong and how do I link the 2
computers ? I have enabled file and printer sharing but still nothing.

Well it sounds like a fire wall issue to me, are you running more than just
windows firewall?

section that covers the OS you are using.
