I tried to do the same thing and eventually gave up. There is a utility
called Printer Anywhere, it's free and will allow your laptop to print to
your printer through the internet.

Windows XP can act as a print server. Download the vista print driver
to the xp machine, then use add printer wizard (if they have one) on
vista and point it to the print device.
