Printing from a wireless laptop to server

I have been trying to print from my wireless laptop , to my printer,
connected to my PC .I have put sharing on my PC , and configured my laptop
with the add printer item in Printer Tasks. Under Printers and Faxes , the
printer is shown and set as Default, and says offline.
When I go to print from the laptop I get a message that says server not
found.
Does anyone know how I can correct this so that I can print from the laptop
to the server printer.
I am using an Epson Stylus c-88 printer .
Thanks for any help I could get on this .

"Offline" means that the printer isn't available. Where does the
printer show as "offline," on the PC (what version of Windows?), on the
laptop, or both?

When you used the Add Printer Wizard on the laptop, did you add it as a
network printer or a local printer?

And not to insult you, but is the PC to which the printer is connected
powered on, not in standby or hibernate, and have a user actually logged on?
