Hey

Is the printer physically connected to the PC or is it a node on the network? What operating system are you using?

If it is connected to a PC then you could enable sharing on the printer. Look for it on the network and print to it.
Right click the printer on the PC and enable sharing.
On the LT, look for the printer on the network and print to it.
