    As long as the user can access the IP address of the PC the computer is connected to, they should be able to share it. Just install the printer as a local printer but assign it to a TCP/IP port with the IP address of the computer.

    You have to designate the locally attached printer as a shared resource on the PC its attached to. File And Print sharing needs to be on on all machines. But once you do that, if you identify the printer as being connected to a TCP/IP port (rather than LPT1) with the IP of the computer its attached to, then it should print on that printer. If the PC is set to obtain its IP automatically, you might want to change that.
