How do I make my printer work with my wireless computers?

Question by ladybug: How do I make my printer work with my wireless computers?

We have 4 computers in our house. Three are currently wireless, one hardwired. We have one printer that is connected with wires to one of the wireless computers. Right now, we can only print using that one computer. So if we are working on one of the other computers, we have to save the file and email it to ourselves and go open it on the "printing" computer. How can I print from the other three computers? Is there a way to link it all now or do I need to go buy some more equipment for the printer? Or do only certain printers have these capabilities?

2 ways.
1. turn on printer sharing on the computer that the printer is currently hooked up to. then just find the printer on the network with the other 3 computers.
2. buy a print server and hook the printer up to it. then each computer can connect independently.
first option is cheaper and easier.
