I can print to a Lexmark x6560 Wireless printer via several of my XP
machines within my home that are on the same Workgroup as the Printer. I
also have a laptop that uses a different workgroup name.

Should it be possible to print from my laptop, if it is on a different
workgroup from my printer?

Should I be able to print to the Wireless printer, if I can browse to it
from a different workgroup?

Correction, my printer is a Lexmark x6570.
 
Hi
If the laptop can log to you Network (wired or wireless) it would be able to
print even if it a different workgroup).
You have to install the printer's driver on the Laptop as a network printer.

Thank you Jack, I was able to get my Laptop to print from a different
workgroup after I browsed to it and added it as a new printer.
