Help & Support discusses this very issure.
First, you enable file and printer sharing in the firewalls
Then, you enable sharing of the printer
Then, you need to install the printer driver in your laptop.
Finally, you connect to the printer on the laptop.  I found it easier to
perform this task with the Net Use command.
