The computer that is connected to the printer... set up shareing
(see the operating system's help files for that.)
Set up a local/family network putting all the machines on the
same (named) network. Then set up sharing on each machine.
I did this just last week.

Connect the printer to one of the computers then allow print sharing.

Install the printer on one computer, share it, then it becomes a network printer, other 2 computers will be able to access it as long as the computer with the printer attached is on.

You need a network card in the printer. Just hook that to a wired CAT5 jack on your router. Use a port over 150 (so it won't be reassigned every time you start the system).

Buy a print server. Then you don't have to leave a computer turned on all the time just to share a printer.
