If you want to do this, I would think it would be more complicated. If you have XP, then it;s a royal pain, Vista is a bit more simpler. ICS is being set on the Laptop and not the phone, correct?

You also have to bridge the connections under Network connections. I would say try searching for an article on google for ICS under vista. Its quite easy to setup and may be your best option.

PS: If you are simply trying to print something when you are browsing, then the easiest way is,

leave everything the way it is before you have the problem. printer and laptop connect and laptop and phone connect but not all.

Connect laptop and phone (printer out). print all you want to the printer. Obviously it wont print but it will queue up in your laptop. Now when you disconnect this network and go back to the original one (laptop and printer), you can go to print queue under and hit restart, and it should print.
