Without networking working, about the only way to share a printer between two computers is a printer switch of some kind. These are available in both automatic and manual types. The automatic types switch to shat ever computer is sending information. If this is a USB printer, you can also manualy move the cable from one computer to the other, depending on where you want to print from. This is not recommended for parallel printers.
In the long run, you will probably be happer getting networking working. Then ether attach the printer to the system that will always be up when you want to print, or invest is a hardware print server to attach to the network. Some of the firewall/router boxes also feature a print server. While the firewall part will not be of much use to you using dialup, the other features of the box may make it attractive.

Thanks - I think I will go with what you and Anne have said. You're right - I think I'll be happier with getting network going. Even though I don't even understand KDE yet! Looking at local suppliers for the router etc on the net. Local place doesn't always have all products available.
