Share the printer out on the PC it's installed on and then go to the second PC, add a new printer, choose Network printer and it should show up as available in the network window. It will then set itself up.
Very simple process.

Nope. When you go to print a page from the other PC it will send th request over the network to the print server and it will print your page just as if you had one connected to it.

Are you using a normal printer, or one with an ethernet port?
If it's a normal printer and you can't get it to work, is the machine the printer is attached to turned on and working properly when you try to send a print job to it from the other machine?

ZoneAlarm would block it, more than likely. I believe it defaults to block all direct incoming network connections.
Try disabling it and see if it doesn't show up when you try and install a network printer from that other PC.
