Printer is HP5600. Sharing was enabled on the Printer. PC is connected thru USB port. Laptop is connected thru wireless router. I'm able to connect to the Internet on the laptop. Not sure how to see other machine on the network.

> Need more info. What brand of printer is it? How is it connected to the host computer. First the obvious. Make sure that File and Printer sharing is enabled. Second, make sure you have the printer properly shared. Are you connecting to the wireless via a router or an access point. That could make a difference. Can you see the host machine at all from the wireless laptop?
