Is the printer linked to another PC? If so just network you laptop, and PC, using the network wizard, and enable printer sharing.

Hey, I find the best,most stable way (my way) lol is to connect your main pc to a wireless router + modem so it can pick up the internet and what not, then just enable printer sharing on the main pc then configure the laptop to connect to the ap and use the printer. I can go more in depth if you like? What's your exact setup?
