My wife and I share our printer by plugging in a lead from our puters whenever we need to use it - but only one at a time.

This is only if u use windows XP
Open the Printers and Faxes folder
• Click Start and then click Control Panel.
• Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes.
• In the Printers and Faxes folder, click the printer's icon and, in the tasks pane, click Share This Printer.
• Open the printer's Properties dialog box, and click on the Sharing tab.
• Click Share Name, and then click OK.
Now To connect to the printer
• Open Control Panel, and click Printers and Other Hardware.
• Click Add a Printer.
• Instead of adding a local printer, though, click Printer Connection and then browse the network for the printer.

If they are USB you can but a cheap hub which allows you to have them all connected.
Or why not go wireless? You can then print from either pc without even having the printer in the same room.
