Assuming this is for WinXP.

(1) First make sure the printer is set to sharable, right click on printer icon & select Sharing option.

(2) On each PC you want to use said printer go through following steps:-

Add a Printer & then Next
Choose Network printer then Next
Choose Browse for Printer then Next
Choose appropriate printer
