I assume you have the following setup?
PC1 - Printer Connected
PC2 - Connected to PC1
on PC one go to control panel > printers and faxes > right click on the printer > properties > sharing tab > select share this printer option and give it a name.
on the second PC again go to printers and faxes and select to add a new printer, then select “A network printer, or a printer connected to another computer” option > Browse for printer.
if you have everything correctly setup you should see it when browsing, else select connect to this printer and enter in the “computername/printername”.
