Question Sharing Windows printer on campus network


I am now in college and would like to be able to use my roommate's printer that is connected to his Windows box. We are both connected to the campus network and have DHCP-assigned IPs, but for some reason I am not able to ping him. First of all, is it even possible to connect to his printer? Second, what needs to happen for this to work? Is there some way I can do this with the current setup (or some questions I can ask the campus computing people to determine how the network is set up), or do we need to change things around, connect some other way, etc.? Thanks in advance.
