Hello! That it is not complicate at all. Do following:
1. on computer where printer is attached: Start -> Control Panel -> Printer and Faxes -> right click on printer’s icon -> Sharing tab -> select Share this printer -> OK.
2. on the second computer: Start -> Control Panel -> Printer and Faxes ->Add a printer -> Next -> select Automatically detect and install… -> Next -> select Browse for a printer -> Next -> select printer -> Next -> select default printer -> Next -> Finish.
