it goes something like this
on your tower PC go into control panel and right click on your printer option
select share this printer and give it a name
open control panel on laptop, select printer option and choose add printer
select network printer
browse for printer and highlight the one you named and follow prompts

You may have to instal the printer drivers for your printer onto your laptop. Do this before you go through the process of adding the printer via control panel.
