I have two computers with ubuntu 18.04 and trying to let them both use one printer. They are wired through a modem that they both share. I am not a computer guru so any help would appreciated.

If the printer is USB only, connect it to one computer, add the printer, and share the printer on the network. One the second computer, have it look for a network printer and add it.
If the printer is wireless or ethernet, connect the printer to your network, then add a network printer on both computers.
If it's an HP printer, you'll want to install the HPLIP software suite, see here, or in Synaptic, and the specific HP printer driver software.
Other printer vendors may also have Linux/Ubuntu compatible printer specific software. Check their web sites.
