Networked printer

[Ernie]

Have desktop with printer connected (xp home). Laptop (xp
pro) networked via wireless. type into address of
Explorer: \\desktop\printer and the printer comes up. Try
to print a test page, status says "Deleting - Sent to
Printer". Reboot the desktop and it prints out the test
page. Try to add printer to network places, but says
folder (\\desktop\printer) can't be found.
