Connecting same printer to two computers

[Guest]

Hi All
I have a Canon Pixma ip4000 printer hooked up to my first computer, Dell
Inspiron 9300 via usb and is working fine.
I would also like to hook up the same printer to my second computer, Dell
Inspiron 4000 but the usb connection is very loose on the second computer
Would I be able to make a successful connection any other way (IE.. parallel
or wireless?), short of taking the computer apart or continuously changing
wires from one computer to the other to print. Thanks for any helpful advice.

Ps Both computers on network.

If both PCs are already on a network, then just set up the printer for
sharing.

Can the PC without the Printer see the PC with the Printer OK?
