I have everything hooked up. Thats not the problem. I have a printer on one of them and want to use it for both. I do not need to share files only the printer. How could I set this up without exposing my computer to the internet. Thanks

pc where printer is installed:
Start » Settings » Printers » right click on printer icon and choose "Sharing" » check "Shared as" button and type a name for your printer » ok
second pc:
Start » Settings » Printers » Add printer » Next » Network printer » Next (Browse) » select your printer on the list » next » ok » :-)
* depending on the printer you might need the drivers cd
