Depends on where the printer is located.
If you can have it connected to the router, on the router install a print manager.
On each computer connected to the router using your LAN, install the printer using the print manager as the target.

How can you connect a parallel printer to a parallel computer and a usb computer?
Through a hub or router- Connect the printer to the parallel port then make sure you have network communication between the two machines and install the printer on the USB machine as a network printer. To put it a little more clearly. 1. Network the two computers which can be done quite cheaply using a 4 port USB network hub. 2. Attached the printer to either computer - all PC's have a parallel port. 3. Share the printer from the PC is it attached to. Hope this helps!

You need to turn the sharing option on in the printer properties and add the group Everyone to allow printing (or create an account for another computer, but because you have only two computers in your local network you might not need to do it). After that you have to find out the computers with the printer attached ip: Start->Run->cmd, in the cmd window type ipconfig and press Retutn/Enter. After you know the ip address, switch to the computer wich doesn't have a printer and again Start->Run->\\ip_address (for instance \\192.168.1.3). And press Enter, after you will see shared folder and the printer which you want to connect to. Double click on it, it will ask you to install drivers for the printer, you have agree. After this you can use printer on both computers. In order everything works properly you have to change firewall options (windows firewall and dedicated you have one). You have to check the option File and Printer Sharing.
