I have a Lexmark X2500 Printer and would like to network it to the other computer on my wireless network, how.

Question

do I go about doing this? I have a wireless router with my main desktop connected to it via ethernet, and my laptop which is connected to it wirelessly. My Lexmark printer is connected to my desktop computer via USB and has no connections for anything else. No ethernet or secondary usb connections. How do I share it wirelessly to my laptop via my wireless router? Is this possible? Both computers are running Windows Vista Home Premium.
