You need to enable "file and printer sharing" in the windows firewall settings, after that you have to share the printer. Check and write down/remember the computer ip address where the printer has been connected to. After that in your laptop/desktop Start->Run->//ip_address (for instance, \\192.168.11.3). When the window shows up double click on the printer, confirm to install the driver.
