Assuming printer is attached directly to (and recogized by) one computer (PC1).
And you have two computers (PC1 & PC2) attached to one hub.

PC2: Start -> Control Panel -> Printers & Faxes -> Add a printer
Try following the 'Wizard' which should step you through the process

 

Here is a shortcut.

Assuming the printer is connected locally to one machine:

Right click the printer in Printer and Faxes. Go to the sharing tab and share it.

Go to another machine.

Go start, run and type:

\\computername, where computername is the name of the comnputer with the shared printer.

Once the shares open up, you will see the printer. Double click to connect, and map it to the other machine.

All done.

This only works if no extra drivers are needed.

Same as using a wizard to do the same thing (drivers will still be required).
