in theory yes you can print remotely from one to the other so long as the serving pc connected to the printer is turned on. Now the gloomy part some printer software don't install the drivers for all versions or require seperate install packages this sux because when it installs the driver to the remote pc it is not the correct driver since they are not on the same operating system and I have not found a way to get the correct driver installed to the remote pc for the correct operating system when this happens. A simple google search reveals much here is a pictorial tutorial http://askbobrankin.com/wireless_printing.html
