Okay, so today, I was trying to help set up a printer multiple computers could share over a network

Note: we are on a school wireless network, not a residential one.

To connect to the internet, both of the laptops use wireless and it is working fine. Today, we bought a printer which supports parallel/USB/CAT 5 connections to computer. I am merely trying to get the printer to be shared across two computers without a hub or router

First thing, i made sure printer and file sharing are enabled on both, then I installed Printer on one machine as a USB connection, thinking this machine would be my host. After that was done, I turned on sharing and put in the sharing name on it.

Now how can I make my second laptop to also use this printer without a hub or router, thanks!
 
if you shared the printer already just go to printers on laptop 2 install network printer
 
Yes, then just find that pc and printer on the list and pick it. you will probably have to install the drivers on all the pcs that want to use the printer.
