Default Laptop to Desktop Printing

I have a laptop with XP and a new desktop with Vista. I used to be able to
print from my laptop with XP to the desktop that had XP throuh the wireless
connection.

Now with Vista on my desktop I can't. Can I fix this? I already downloaded
the KB922120 update.

Can you open files shared on the Vista machine?

Glad it's not a printing problem. Reference the information Cari provided
earlier to get the sharing setup properly. There are also network
newsgroups as well with people who know lots about networking.
