Printer Sharing

I have an MN 500 wireless base station and connect my
laptop using an integrated Broadcom 802.11b wireless
modem. Internet access works fine, but I can't seem to
share printers connected to my desktop. I have set both
PC's to allow sharing, but the laptop can't access the
desktop.

you have to have the drivers of the shared printer loaded
on both computers for the printer sharing to work

I am having a similar problem. I have Two XP Professional Workstations. Both
are connected to a Linksys wireless router, one is cabled the other
wireless. I cannot access any shares on either machine. However both
machines can access my servers and their shares on the rest of my LAN! WTF!
