Basically if you are both on the same network, then, on the macbook that is connected to the printer, you need to go to

System Preferences>>Sharing and then check (start) Printer Sharing. If you want to share files, then on the macbook you want to share files from, do the same, and check (start) Personal File Sharing.

Enjoy,

Brian
