I assume you did not only set file and print sharing on on the printers pc
and your logged on with administrative privileges, but also did
start-control panel-classic view-printers-run as
administrator-properties-sharing tab and enabled the sharing (this on PC)
noted the pcname and printersharename and on the laptop start-control
panel-classic view-printers-right click on blank area-run as
administrator-add printer then performed the add network printer?
