I am sharing a Dell Photo AIO Printer 926 running on an XP computer with a computer on the network running Windows 7. When I started, the printer was already installed and working on the XP computer and set up to be shared on the network. Then I ran the 926 printer installation disk (the disk that came with the printer) on the Windows 7 computer. At some point it asked me if the printer was connected to another computer on the network. When I answered "yes" it asked for the name of the other computer on the network and the shared name of the printer. After I answered those questions it proceeded to "install" the printer as if it was connected to the Windows 7 machine and it works perfectly. I was surprised that worked, after having tried many times (unsuccessfully) to connect to it by installing new drivers on the Windows 7 computer. So I would suggest using the printer installation disk on the Windows 7 computer. If you do not have the disk I would suggest trying to get one from the printer manufacturer.

Install the appropriate drivers for your printer on the machine it will be connected to, connect and reboot as necessary. Then go to My Computer>Control Panel>Printers and Faxes. Find your printer you just installed, right click on it and select Sharing. Set a printer name of your choice and then click OK. On the other machines go back to Printers and Faxes then select the Add a New Printer... icon. On the following dialog choose to install a Network printer and then browse for your printer's name. Please note, all machines must be in the same Windows Workgroup, set by either running one of the Network wizards in My Network Places, or right clicking on My Computer, selecting Properties then going to the Computer Name tab.
This depends on how you want to "connect" them. If you install and configure Samba on the laptop, it can share files with Windows. If you are not interested in sharing files, but just want to control the laptop from within Windows, install an SSH server on the laptop, and connect to it from Windows using puTTY.
