Sharing a printer

[Guest]

I have a HP 990cxi connected to a desktop which is wired to a Belkin
router/modem. On a laptop wirelessly connected to router/modem I am trying to
access the printer on the desktop. When I run the Add printer wizard ad
browse for the printer, the printer is listed but when I highlight it the box
at bottom called "Printer Information" has the message "Error: Access is
denied." If I then click the Next button a window pops up tring to connect
the desktop's Guest account. Clicking OK without typing anything into
password causes it to, after about 20 seconds to go back to "Browse for
Printer" window. I have set up the printer for sharing. Any ideas please?

It's not a printing problem, it's a networking one.

Are the PCs in the same Workgroup? Have you worked your way through Ron
