Best Answer

Install the appropriate drivers for your printer on the machine it will be connected to, connect and reboot as necessary. Then go to My Computer>Control Panel>Printers and Faxes. Find your printer you just installed, right click on it and select Sharing. Set a printer name of your choice and then click OK. On the other machines go back to Printers and Faxes then select the Add a New Printer... icon. On the following dialog choose to install a Network printer and then browse for your printer's name.

Please note, all machines must be in the same Windows Workgroup, set by either running one of the Network wizards in My Network Places, or right clicking on My Computer, selecting Properties then going to the Computer Name tab.
