    For this you will need a wireless router with a usb port support. Or even the Printer with an ethernet port can be done, but as you said you have a usb printer. Which router do you have? Does your router has a USB port for devices? Probably not, so you cannot connect the wireless router directly to the printer. You will need to connect a computer to the router and the printer to the computer.

    Ok, Connect your computer to the router through a lan cable or wirelessly if it has a wifi adapter. Now connect the printer to the computer and install its drivers on the computer. Now go to control panel and go to Printers settings. There your printer will be shown, Right-Click it and click "sharing..." Now once the settings is finished, browse this computer from each laptop and see the shared printer. Right-Click on it and select "connect". It will then install drivers for the printer on your computer so that you would be able to print. Done!!
