Some printers, especialy low cost inkjet, can't be shared in any way.
They are called "home user printers"

If it's different, please explain ! (//, ip printer, shared printer,...)

Please give additional information. What printer type and model have you installed, how is it attached (parallel or network)? What OS do the workstations run at (WIN2000, WIN95 ???) Are you able to see the printer when you browse the network neighbourhood ?

Install the printer as local printer and then change the port to: \\computer_name\printer_shared_name
That must work.
Orelse, maybe you don't have the right to connect to that printer. Talk to your administrator to see the security on that printer.
