What operating system are you using? If it is xp it is very easy. Right click on your printer on x computer and click sharing and share it with an easy name like HP Laser, then on y computer open run command by going to start and run and in there you will type in \\xcomputer name which you can get by right clicking on my computer on x computer and choose computer name. once this is typed in run on y computer press ok and you will get window with some shared folders and also a printer. Just double click on printer and it will ask you to install drivers and it will connect but your x computer has to be on to be able to print from y computer.Same principle with 2 vista computers. If one is vista and one is xp this might be little more involved. Hope this helps.
