I have two computers, both with airport, connected by an airport basestation. One is connect to a USB printer. Is there any way that I can print from the computer without the printer to the other that has the printer?

never mind, I had to click "share printers" under the printing faxing pane in preferences.

this is so cool

Is it an Airport Extreme base station?
And what kind of printer?
To share your printer as described, simply enable printer sharing in System Preferences > Sharing > Services or in Print & Fax. Then make sure that Printer Sharing is allowed through your firewall, or that the firewall is disabled.
Then just select the shared printer in Printer Setup Utility/Print Center on the other computer. If you're on 10.2, there's a preference item in Print Center to Show Shared Printers (I think), which needs to be checked.
