If your printer is attached directly to your computer, you should share it (the way you do it depends of your operating system). If your printer is connected directly to your network (WiFi or Ethernet) it should be properly configured.

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.
It usually means the printer utility can't "find" the printer so it has paused the printing until it can see it. Either turn the printer on, hook the USB cable up or make sure you are on the same network node as the printer.
No, you need a print server or you need to share the printer via a desktop computer in order to get connectivity over an Ethernet network with more than one client. Hook the USB printer to one of computers and turn printer sharing ON in the System Preferences/Sharing/Services menu on the computer the printer is hooked to. Then you should be able to see it in the Print Menu under Shared Printers on the other computers. The down side is you have to keep the USB Printer/Computer on all the time in order to print to it. The other computers won't see the printer if the USB Printer/Computer is asleep. Keyspan.com, etc... has both the print servers you could use but make sure you read which one you need. They both do it different ways for different printers and usage.
What it is basically is a line of people waiting, but those people are documents or what ever waiting for there turn to be printed.

1. Check if a printer is powered on. 2. Check if a printer is properly connected to a computer. 3. Check if a printer has its toners/inks. 4. Check if paper is in printer's tray. 5. Check if printer's software doesn't show any problems.
These are check boxes in the network properties for XP. In Vista, go to the Control Panel applet named Network and Sharing Center and you can turn these on/off.
