Go again to Start / Settings / Printers / Right Click on Printer / Properties / Details

If the 'Print to the following port' box doesn't show something like '\\ComputerName\Printername' then click on the 'Add Port' button. Make sure the 'Network' option is selected and then click 'Browse'. You should be able to see the other computer and, if you click on the plus, the printer that is connected to it. Highlight this and then click 'OK' and 'OK' again. The 'Print to the following port' box should now show something like '\\ComputerName\PrinterName'. Click 'OK' to save it and it should be done.
