Printer Server Help

I would like to use my HP USB Deskjet All-In-One printer as a single home
printer accessed by 2 computers,1 laptop and 1 desktop.My desktop is already
connected to a D-Link DGL4300 G wireless router.
Since my current printer is already connected via USB to my desktop,what do
I need to access the printer,wirelessly with my laptop?
Thanks

yes, you just want to set the printer up as shared on a windows network.
does not need to be XP. USB or LPT1, no difference.

while you can attach a printer to a router, I have my HP 750C Designjet
set up that way, and it's sweet, but you need to assign a TCP/IP to the
printer. the only way I know to do that is with a jet direct card and
some CAT5 cable. don't know if that model printer supports a jet direct. ???

windows network easier....
share the printer.
