Are you trying to use the Printer Sharing feature in Windows Live OneCare? If so, and the Vista laptop is running 64 bit edition of Vista, it won't work. You will need to use Windows File and Printer Sharing to share the printer. See if this article helps you configure that - http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/90373f67-6ea5-4fb2-84fa-19da351a6d451033.mspx
