If both computers have an ethernet (network) port you could purchase a small 5 port switch and some ethernet cable and network them together. As a cheaper solution, you could probably get a crossover cable and connect the two computers together. All that's left is to assign each computer an IP address and turn on file printing & sharing on each computer.

You can use these as IP addresses.

If that's too complex for you, you might be able to get away with something like this. Just be aware that USB file transfers will be slower than network transfers,
