Click on the printer, then click 'share this printer' in the left hand panel
I am also assuming you have your network properly set up, with all pcs having the same workgroup name and so on.
If that doesn't work - you need to install the printer drivers on the other pcs.

To continue ethel's answer (which is correct as far as it goes)
I suspect you possibly meant a wireless connection directly to the printer?
there are a surprising number of home printers with wireless capabilities (mainly lexmark) for not much money
the other option would be to get yourself a wireless print adapter

(but most of them actually cost more than the lexmark)
some routers have a print server port built in ... and many printers have an ethernet port which will connect directly to the router's hub.
I'm sure I've also seen a printer which will take a standard wireless dongle ... but I just can't remember which it was.
any of the above have the advantage that you don't need the PC connected to the printer switched on all the time.
