can printer from my laptop running vista, with the printer (HP 2355 all in
one) that's connected to my desktop pc running XP. I have a wireless router
connected to the desktop pc.
Thanks,
Helen

Yes. You will have to set up a Home Network. You can find all the
information you need by searching the various Microsoft websites, using the
Search function on your computer, or using Google. You will have to enable
printer sharing.

I'm glad you got it to work. I usually resort to threats of physical harm
and much foul language. That usually doesn't work, but it makes me feel
better!
