Long answer: connect the printer to a single computer, share it and install the printer as a network printer on the other computers.<br />
You'll need the &quot;print server&quot; to be on, though, for printing to work.<br />

Just as a curiosity: if you have a network already set up, why would you need additional cables? <br />
I've seen an accounting office where they had a 4-port sharing hub and they manually pressed the button to decide who gets to print. While they all were on the same network. It seem so 1990's to me...

No and not advised, DanCraciun pretty much summed it up but for some added support of his answer you would be looking at sharing from the PC connected to it via USB or set it up as a network printer and connect to it via ethernet.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
