Can't access shared printer on remote PC over wireless network

I helped a friend set up a wireless network that consists of a Netgear wireless
modem router, one desktop PC to which a printer is connected and a laptop that
is connected wirelessly.

Printer sharing is enabled on the desktop and the printer is set up accordingly.
However, when I go to install the printer on the laptop it tells me that it
cannot find the printer.

The laptop is a Dell with XP installed. As far as I can tell there is nothing
out of the ordinary that has to be set up. All looks fine, but obviously it
isn't.

Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that
needs altering
