As many as you want but not in the same time of course. It also depends on what kind of a network printer you have. If you have a printer which is connected to the one of PCs, then a number of computers which can send print jobs in the same time is defined by the PC RAM. You have a printer which has its own network card then that number is defined by the printer RAM (usually it's about 16-64 Mb). And the printer can handle only couple print jobs in the same time.

What is the difference between a network printer and a personal printer?
A network printer is not connected directly to an individual PC. A network printer is connected to a network, typically with an ethernet cable. Network printers are normally shared with several other users, often in an office setting. Personal printers, on the other hand, are usually connected to individual PCs. Common connection types for personal printers are parallel cables and USB cables. Unless you change the default settings, personal printers are not shared amongst multiple computers - they print only from the computer they are connected to. You can share personal printers if you wish, but unlike network printers, if the computer the printer is connected to is not turned on, nobody else will be able to print to it.
