I think the only way this would work is if you have a network enable cd burner program. You have to be able to access hardware level software if you want to burn on the remote machine. Nero makes a product called Nero-net that might work. http://www.nero.com/en/index.html#c1031588092181 . This is a new program and I've never used it.
If the problem is just the lack of a monitor on the desktop why don't you investigate some sort of remote control software that will let her access the desktop's desktop from her laptop, something like pcAnywhere or one of the cheaper programs that do the same thing. She could access the remote desktop with remote software and then burn anything she wanted no matter where it's located. I burn stuff from network hard drives all the time.
