I am trying to set printer as network printer for my network. But I am obviously doing something wrong. I can print from computer where printer is attached, but I am unable to see it from other networked computers. Network is fine because I can see and interact with other computers on it. It is only printer that gives me headache. How can I set it up to act as a network printer?

One stupid question for the beginning. Have you shared your printer and gave it a shared name for your network. If you have not then go to control panel then Printer and faxes and then right click on printer icon and choose sharing. Here you can add its shared name on which it will be recognized over network. After this step go on every other computer and do a usual procedure for adding new printer. Only difference is that you have to choose network printer option and to find it in dialog box. After this everything should work just fine.
