If your computer is part of a Local Area Network (LAN), wired or wireless you can use Windows 7 to share your locally attached printer with other computers on the network. You can do this when you install a new printer or after it has already been installed. You will also be able to restrict who has access to the print device by turning on the password protected sharing. If you chose later to remove the password protection you can do so by turning off the password-protection.
Here are the Steps for sharing:
