Help with Home Network

Hello. I want to set up my home network to be able to view any files from any computer and for my laptop computers to be able to print from my desktop. I have set up printer sharing on the desktop, but when I go to my laptop to add a network printer, it can't be located.

I am running Vista on my desktop and Windows 7 on my laptop. I can view the desktop on my laptop's network map, but when I click the icon, it says

\\STEPHANIE-PC is not accessible.

Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced.

Where can I start looking for possible fixes? Would really enjoy being able to hit print on the laptop and have it send it straight to the computer.

Thanks.
