Two easy solutions.
1. Connect your printer directly to the router with a print server. You can get them for around $30 or so.
2. Connect your printer to a computer and share the printer. Then go to the other computer and,
a. Go to the printer section of Windows and click Add a Printer.
b. Choose to "add a network printer or one that's attached to another computer."
c. Browse for the printer, and then double click it.
d. Follow the on-screen prompts.
It's that easy!
One thing to remember...the computers must be on the same network and the same workgroup to see each other.

If your printer works when connected to your pc and the pc is connected to the network you are almost where you want to be.
The easiest thing to do is to enable sharing on that printer while connected to your pc. Do the share enable in Printers and Faxes of your pc with the printer connected. Now go to all other network pcs, open Printers and Faxes, Add a printer and select network printers or printers connected to other LAN PCs; let it find the printer on the other pc and follow the prompts.
this is the easiest way to do what you want.
