To point you in the right direction, you need to configure cups on your desktop to allow connections from the local network and then configure your laptop to print to a queue over the network. How you achieve this depends on the tools available in your distribution. You can also configure both machines using the cups web interface which you can access by doing http://localhost:631 . This article my help you out. Its for Debian, but most of it should apply to Ubuntu as well.
