there isn't much information here!
do you want advice on how to network them to share the printer or are they already networked?
what o/s are they running?
where are they located? close together or in different rooms?
need a bit more information here

A usual solution is just to buy a network router( $15-$20), and the two NIC cards needed for this. Set up the two pc's and network the printer to them. Most of this can be done w/Windows wizard.

Operating system is XP

Nic cards run like 15 each and you need a router whoich can vary in price. D-Link is pretty good for starters.
