Shared printer with wireless

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Need some help. I want to install a cable modem then attach a linksys
wireless router. From there I want to be able to access the internet
from two laptops. My question is how do I add a printer that can be
shared by both laptops? Both laptops will be running XP.

I don't want to create a network because at anytime one laptop could be
detached. Can I attach a printer to the Linkys USB port and reach it
from both laptops? Or do I need to add a linksys wireless printer
server so both can access the printer? Or do I need to do something
else?

Thanks,
moon
