I assume the printer is connected to the desktop computer. On the laptop, select "add a printer" and then select "network printer", navigate to it and follow the instructions.

Have you enabled file and printer sharing on both computers?

Does the laptop ask you for a password when you try to access the desktop harddrive?

If so enter the username and password then try it.

Also, go to the desktop computer, and go Start/printers and faxes/ highlight the printer, right click it and enable sharing.
then go back to the laptop and add the network printer. It should show up now.
