Ya, they are both windows. I was able to set up shared files but I am having a hard time running a remote desktop session.

You don't need remote desktop for that.

You can just share the printer from your desktop. start->printers, select printer, right-click for properties-> share.

Of course you will need to have windows firewall turned off on the desktop and laptop or configure it to allow the printer.

Then from the laptop: start->run and enter \\NameOfDesktop and you should see the printer.
