Can't get my shared printer to work with a lap top PC?

I am using XP and a lap top that my wife just got has Windows 7 on it. My printer is a HP 6122 and is set up to be shared wirelessly.

Her error message says she needs a printer driver. Does the main PC that is actually hooked to the printer or her lap top needs the driver for the printer to be shared?

We have had no luck in finding a driver for her lap top for the HP 6122 printer.

    Use the desktop and connect the printer on it. Connect your laptop via wireless and install the driver of printer for Windows 7.

    It necessary first to install the driver when you are connecting printer using Windows 7.
