I have my printer wired into my imac with a usb lead and was wondering if i can use/share that printer wirelessly with my macbook pro laptop. Preferably without having to buy any accessories
 
No you can't.

You need one of these:

Yes, but to be really useful, your laptop would have to be on for others to print.

To do this:
- System preferences
- Sharing
- Printer sharing
- Check printer you want to share.
