Sibce you got a USB printer and fully utilize its full power, you will need a USB print server. Its used for making a printer a network printer. You can connect that to hub. Then you can use the printer on not just two but any number of computers in a network. Dont go on sharing ther printer because it will not only decrease printing speed but it will also decrease the performance of pc, you connect the printer too. Use the good way and buy a usb print server device. its not that costly

Network the two PCs together and then the one with the printer can 'share' the printer off to the other PC.
Other than that you may be able to find a peripheral sharing switch for USB.

Connect the printer to pc # 1 and get it to work there properly.
Go to printers and faxes on pc # 1, right click on this printer and follow the prompts for sharing the printer.
Now go to pc # 2, printers and faxes, add printer and select printer on network or on other pc and follow prompts.
PC # 1 must be on for pc # 2 to print but this is how it is done.

You can simply use one printer sharer (sharing switch) which is a very cheap device just like multi-plugs used for sharing electric current or otherwise you may go for a LAN card which will be installed in one of your system and print commands from the additional computer will be directed to the printer through first computer in which LAN card has been installed..

U can either install on 1 PC, and "share printer" or get a network print server box that lets you use printer over TCP/IP
DLINK make a good one, using it on my brother USB laser
