Wireless printing from laptop

Got a new laptop. How do I set it up to print wirelessly. The printer is currently wired to the desktop which turn is connected to Belkin wireless unit.

Cheers

on the wired unit, go into printer setup and sharing ...turn on sharing and as long as you are on the same workgroup, you should be able to print via the wired PC.

Sharing is switched on as my 2 kids can print wirelessly from their laptops.

so in your new laptop, you have to search in printers and faxes for the shared printer....either that or tell the pesky kids to get off their laptops and use theirs
