Check the firewall settings, make sure that the printer and the computer are in the same workgroup. Sometimes you have to enable file and printer sharing even if you are not going to share anything.
Go in the printer's properties and choose share printer. In allowed users choose "Everyone". If you want everything works without problems you need to set all computers going to share the printer to the same workgroup.
In computer networking a work group is collection of computers connected on a LAN that share the common resources and responsibilities. Workgroup is Microsoft's term for a peer-to-peer local area network.

If the printer is connected to another computer via a cable, then you need something for the wireless computer to connect to. It would either have to connect to a wireless router or you could have a wireless card in the other computer and configure the two to talk to each other. But using a router is a far better solution. Then you can setup the printer as shared from the first computer and configure the two comptuers to be in the same workgroup and share it that way.
