In the Control Panel, click on the Printer icon. Click the add a printer icon. Select Network printer. When it prompts you for port information, enter the ip address for the printer. Choose the printer type so it installs the drivers. Print away!!
Repeat on other PCs!!
(Post again if you have more problems...Good luck)

go to that another computer.
open Control Panel ->Printers and Faxes->add a new printer.
At the question Local or Network pick Local Printer and click on Add new Port -> TCP/IP type. Will ask you for the printer IP address. Click OK and continue to install the printer driver. Doble check if under properties of the printer driver ->Details tab The Port is the one which you just created.
If you have Win 95/98/Me you will need a special software to create the TCP/IP port. NT, 2000, XP is ok.

Assuming your're using Windows XP
Goto printer, add new printer, select local printer, select create a new port, select standard TCP/IP Port, then key in your port IP, name your port, install driver...bingo! the printer installed!
