Yes, there's (literally) nothing to it.

1. Open Sharing system preference.
2. Turn on "Printer Sharing."
3. Download and install a printer driver for your printer on her 
machine.
4. Use Printer Center on her machine to add the printer to her active 
list.
5. She can print.

For the love of pete -- why are you making her suffer like that? Don't 
you like her? Upgrade her immediately!
