If the computers are connected in a network, then connect the printer to one of the computers. Then use SHARING, so the other computer can use the printer.

You need what it is called switch box. At one time can only one PC works with that printer.
Or when those a brand new printer with LAN connection. It's easy. Get a router, make PC-1, PC-2 and the printer as a node in your LAN.

Connect both the computers' printer lead-wires to a 'junction box' [available at most computer hardware retailers] - and connect the junction box's lead-wire to your printer !
Problem solved.

... and if they're not networked, network them. 2xcards and a crossover cable will cost you less than $50.
