My wireless computer can't see printer on router

I have wrt54gl wireless router that has a brother printer plugged into it. I have a XP Pro desktop that is plugged into the router. Everything works fine and this desktop can see the printer.

My question.

I have another desktop (XP pro) that is connected to the same wrt54gl router (wirelessly). It can see the internet. However, It cannot see the printer.

What am I doing wrong? Is it possible?


Thanks for you help.
 
I think this is possible but the following has to be met:
1. The wired desktop has to share the printer with the network.
2. The wired desktop has to be "On" everytime to keep the shared printer active
3. Ensure both the wired and wireless desktops are in the same workgroup.
