You didnt specified if you have some kind of network between your computer, so I will answer all possibilities. The cheapest way is to buy Switches, these switches are made depending on type of your printer cable (parallel or USB). USB switches are automatic and for a little more money you can get parallel that can do same thing. These switches work fine with all operating systems if you are using xp, linux, mac or anything else you wont have a problem with it.
If you are having a small home network between your computers then sharing printer is even easier. Since you already have everything connected and it working perfectly, you just need to do some settings changing.
Go to Control panel-Printers and Faxes; right click on your printer. In popup menu choose sharing, in sharing tab choose share this printer option.
Only additional thing you have to do is installing printer drivers on both computers.
And this is also much easier in the network cause you can install drivers directly trough the network. Go to computer that need printer driver. In Printers section of the Control Panel, go to "Add a Printer". The Add Printer Wizard will guide you through the process of installing the printer.
