Windows XP >> Print file in pc without printer Hi

I know this is a trivial question. But I don't the steps.
I have two PC with windowsxp. I have used hub to link them. One pc is
linked to printer. The other isn't. How do I print file in the other
PC? Sometimes, I email to myself, but it takes time.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

On the computer with the printer, make sure File and Printer sharing is
turned on.

On the computer without a printer, install a printer (logically, not
physically). Install its connection as a network one, and install the driver
for the actual printer that it is.

Also read here: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/ for instructions on
setting it up.
