I'm not a networking master but i know you can share the printer across the network. i did it before back in the day when my bro lived with me.
you'll have to enable sharing on the desktop PC. if you go to the printer manager (if that's what it's called), it's under printer and fax in the control panel, click on the printer you wanna share, then click on printer, then share and follow the directions. it's pretty easy to setup but it only works if the computer sharing the printer is turned on, i don't think it needs to be logged into just on and in windows. if your desktop is always on then you shouldn't have a problem with this method, if there's a better way someone please chime in.
