Is this a network capable printer or is it attached to a PC via USB or some other port?
If it is a network printer, you can assign an IP address to the printer and you should be able to add a printer on your PCs by selecting it as a jet direct and giving it the IP address. Chances are, when you search for available (network) printers it will find it automatically. with a network printer, you should be able to do something similar in Windows.

If the printer is attached to a PC and directly networked, you will need to tell that PC to share that printer. There should be an option for this in your printer configuration. To share it with Windows clients you will need to use Samba.
