There are several advantages of sharing a network printer. One advantage is a printer does not take up space at each person's workstation. Another benefit is not having the expense of buying multiple printers.

Printer on my WiFi home network?

Yes, that's a good approach if the printer is connected to your home Wi-Fi network. Install the printer on one computer first, ensure it prints correctly, and then enable Printer Sharing in that computer's settings. After sharing is enabled, the other computers on the same network should be able to discover and connect to the shared printer. Keep in mind that the host computer must remain powered on and connected to the network for the shared printer to be available. If the printer supports network printing or AirPrint, it's usually even better to add it directly to each computer instead of relying on printer sharing.
