    What would be my options for using a printer with my laptop without using any wires, or bluetooth. Right now I am using a old printer non vista compatable with my desktop but I want a new printer for use with just my laptop without using any wires.

    Invest in a print server.

    Another idea would be to share your desktop printer, leaving your desktop on when you want to print from your laptop.

    I wish I could but I can't gety my laptop to reconize that my desktop on my network. My desktop shows that my laptop is on the workgroup but my laptop only shows my router on the network and not my desktop.
