You could try creating a new user account on each of the 2 PC's you want to have print. Then, on the printer share (the Security Tab) remove all user groups (especially the "Everyone" group) and add the two new user accounts and give them appropriate rights.

Make sure you log onto the PC's with the new user accounts.

This would give printing access to the two specific accounts and disallow printing from any other.
