I have a wireless home network with two laptops and a desktop computer. I have a printer hooked up to the desktop, but in order to print from the laptops, I have to carry them to the printer and physically hook them up. Is there any way to set up the printer so that I can print wirelessly from the laptops?

You need to set up file and print sharing between your computers and set the printer up as a shared printer on the desktop.
Then when the desktop is on (and the printer is as well) you'll be able to print from the laptops.
For a tutorial on how to do it you can go here - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/sharing-files-and-printers-with-different-versions-of-windows
@Mara - If you had actually looked at the tutorial you would notice that the first step was a very simple and straight forward set of instructions on how to set up a homegroup for Windows 7.
Then the next step was how to do it for Vista and the next one after that was for Windows XP.
Perhaps instead of trying to pad your Y!A score, you ought to actually read the answers that other users provide.
