You need to install driver on laptop as well first.
If you want to connect the printer to two computers at the same time, you need either to plug/ unplug the usb cable each time.
Or you setup a network using a router and share the printer on the network.
Or you buy a printer servet or a printer switch and connect printer to both computer at same time, this is the best solution.
Got to a local retailer, explain what you want and get equipment (eg. printer server or printer switch) to share the printer between the two computer.
