You need to start with a network printer or print server. Each network printer has its own IP address on the network. Those can be made wireless, but I suspect there is a speed penalty compared to a 10/100 or better wired network. If you have a wireless network at home with a desktop hooked into a printer, you can share that printer on the wired or wireless network.
With Win 2000 or XP, it's not well known, but you do not need a print server if your printer has its own IP address on the network. Add Printer > Local Printer > Create a New Port > Standard TCP/IP Port. Do this on each PC.
