To share your printer
Open Printers and Faxes.
Right-click the printer you want to share, and then click Sharing.
On the Sharing tab, click Share this printer, and then type a name for the shared printer.
If you share the printer with users on different hardware or different operating systems, click Additional Drivers. Click the environment and operating system for the other computers, and then click OK to install the additional drivers.
If you are logged on to a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 family domain, you can make the printer available to other users on the domain by clicking List in the Directory to publish the printer in the Directory.
Click OK, or if you have installed additional drivers, click Close.

Check the back of the printer for an ethernet port, if it has one,
connect it to your router and you can use it with both computers.
If there is no ethernet port, look for a USB port,
you can plug a USB wireless ethernet adapter to it.
If nether is available, then you need to get an A-B printer switch.
