From your wireless laptop Start Button choose HelP. Choose the line that says Printers and Faxes... then printing on a network. And it should talk you through it. Think one option is Print from a printer attached to another network computer ..or something similar. Basically when your printer is powered on, and the computer it is attached to is powered on,,, if your laptop has the same group name... simply going to Add new printer should pop a box and find the printer automatically and talk you thru a few simple things. FYi My HP printer shows as PRINTERHP. Yours is different. The path to my printer from my laptop would be \\Mikesdesk\PRINTERHP

there are 2 different passwords not sure which you mean but I think you are meaning you forgot the password to access your wireless network that is different than the password for the router, the one for the router is the one that lets you access the inner settings of your router. Those are all extremely important and should be written down and kept somewhere safe, the one's for both the router and wireless network can be written on a piece of paper and taped to the router on the bottom or side not blocking the vents. There is a free program you can use to gain your passwords, you have to use it from one of the computers that is actively on the wireless network. It may trigger your antivirus program and say it is an infection it is not, it is just the type of file it has to use to get access to your passwords, it will only work on your pc for your passwords only. Usually it is better to use it with the AV turned off so you do not get the warning, once you have your passwords then go to add remove programs and remove the programs you should not need them again and of course turn on the AV. this one is the one that will find your wireless network passwords WirelessKeyView Frequently Asked Questions info about the programs

I print from my laptop wirelessly through a desktop. If your desktop doesn't see the printer, chances are neither will the network. But you can try. Is everything networked now for file and print sharing ? Make sure plug and play is enabled on the computers, and maybe also in the router , then Start/Settings/Printers & add a printer to the laptop... it will search and find the printers just as if it were connected directly to the laptop. You may have to install the printer software on the laptop too, but most likely windows has a driver for it already, but will not have any of the gingerbread software.

some links for reference Sharing your printer wirelessly Share Files and Printers between Windows 7 and XP this is what got mine working properly, I found the info on the windows 7 forums (Jimbo45) after I did this it worked great. Just be sure to put the name of your actual machines and names in there rather than what he is using as an example. "to share Printers attached to XP computers with either X-64 or X-32 versions of Windows 7 is SIMPLE. These instructions are for the Printer attached to the XP machine (but works in reverse as well). ("Stand alone" Network printers can be done slightly similarly BTW). assume the computers are call XPMACHINE and W7MACHINE. 1) Ensure Printer on XP machine is shared - assume it's called SHAREDPRINTER. 2) On the Network Browsing on your Windows 7 machine ensure you can "See" the Printer share. Now on the Windows 7 machine do the following (doesn't matter if it's X-86 or x-64). 3) Control Panel==> add LOCAL (Yes LOCAL) printer. I know it's on a Network but hold your horses -- what we are actually doing is "Poodlefaking" the Windows 7 machine into thinking it's running the printer. 4) Create NEW port==>Local port 5) Portname is \\XPMACHINE\SHAREDPRINTER 6) Now Windows 7 will load a driver and you'll be able to print on the XP machine. Simple (For a "Network stand alone printer") at 4) chose TCPIP port and at 5) enter the IP address. If the printer is on the Windows 7 machine and you want to print on the XP machine then do the same instructions on the XP machine -- port name in this case will be \\W7MACHINE\SHAREDPRINTER Here is a link that might be useful: windows 7 forum
