    It sounds like you are printing using the PC as a print server. The printer should have its own print server since it is ethernet connected.

    I would recommend that you take a look at the PC and see how the printer is configured on it and configure your laptop the same way. You are most likely doing TCP/IP printing on the PC and you need to do the same thing on the laptop.

    Good luck.
