I have a 802.11b netgear wireless router. My xp desktop is connected to two usb printers. It's also hooked up to router, which is hoooke dup to cable modem. I also have a laptop using wireless. How can I print from laptop?

I've enabled file/print sharing.
I've set up both as 'mshome' workgroup.
 
I set up a similar thing a while back for some relatives that had XP Home SP2 on both of their computers(desktop and laptop). I think you go to the control panel on the laptop, and just use the add printer wizard. If I remember correctly you should be able to select network printer and browse for it with the wizard(make sure all computers and the printer is on though). I can't remember all of the steps in detail, I do know it has been working like a charm for several months now, as they have not said anything to me about having a problem with printing from the laptop.
