Hi DT, sorry for not answering that e-mail you sent me, I was going to but I forgot.

Anyway, you could use 2 PCI Wireless Network Cards. Put 1 in each machine, then connect to each other using ad-hoc mode. But there is more to it than that. You need to make your printer shareable, and it is also a good idea to assign static IP addresses to both PCs.

Computer w/ Printer:

IP Address: 192.168.0.2 (I start at .2 in case you want to add a AP or Router later. -- Routers and APs sometimes use 192.168.0.1)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0 (either 1 works fine 4 me)

Computer that will use the shared printer:

IP Address: 192.168.0.3

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0 (make sure this is the same as the computer with the printer)

Let me know if you need more help. Hope this works!

If God has to teach someone a lesson more than once for them to learn it, it just shows how stubborn they are.
