Sharing a Printer on a Wireless Network

I am at a neighbor's house right now. They recently received a Westell
7500 wireless modem/router, which seems to be configured correctly.
Both PCs run Windows XP Home. The router is connected to the desktop
PC (Compaq Presario 5000) and the laptop (Acer Aspire 3002 LCi) is now
able to access Internet connectivity via its wireless card.
They would like to be able to print to the HP JaserJet 1200 printer,
which is connected to the desktop. How is this best accomplished? I
tried running the Add-a-Printer wizard, but when I browse, I cannot
find the network. I even tried with the Windows firewall turned off.
I also tried using the Add-a-network-place wizard. Selecting Microsoft
Windows Network and then Workgroup leads to a dead end, unfortunately.
I imagine that a router that allows a direct printer connection is the
standard solution, but are there any workarounds for this current
setup?
Thanks in advance.
