On the PC that the printer is physically hooked up to, right click on the icon (once you go into Printers and Fax in Control Panel) and select sharing.

From there select allow sharing. At the other PC, go into control panel, select printers and fax. Click on Add printer, choose from network printer (workgroup name has to be the same on both PCs) and then follow the onscreen instructions (it will install the driver on your pc.)
