which works fine. i can use internet enen with my laptop but what i
cant do is print from my laptop. i have a printer conected to my
desktop. so what i want to know is do you need to use a print server
 
Have you configured the desktop printer to be "shared"?
Have you setup a home network that allows the laptop to talk to the Desktop's "shared folders"?
Have you setup a new printer on the laptop by choosing "network printer" and then use the "browse"
button to locate the printer on your home network?

You need to give us more information.
Right know it sounds like you just have the internet connection setup for the computers, but not the
home network workgroup.
