Heres my dilemma, my mom recently purchased a new wireless printer, moreover a laserjet printer. This is the 1st for the family, being both a wireless and laser printer. I do have some experience being around a laser printer, but not both combined. The printer itself is connected to my moms desktop, but I have it connected to her router. Is there a specific function on her desktop to allow me to open up sharing on her printer so that the whole family is able to print off of it? I have a homegroup established on my desktop. Does her desktop need to have the homegroup setup as primary or whats the deal on that?
 
There is an option in windows to share it through most windows operating systems. Here is a Youtube video that I found that best fits your needs (for windows 7).

Thanks for the video post. Setting up the homegroup on my moms desktop was rather easy. The rest was a piece of cake. Thanks again for the find.
