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.

How do you network a USB printer to and Ethernet network?

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.
