How to set up printer to use one connected to other pc in network

I see a printer connected to other pc in the network, right-click the
printer icon but the displayed context menue does not include "Connect"
in the list.
Could anyone help?

Do you know the printer share name?

Make sure the printer is shared from the other computer. Then install
the Vista printer drivers on the Vista machine. Get them from the
printer mftr.'s website. The printer will be seen during the
installation routine. If it is not, use the Add Printer wizard.
