    You can't. You would need a Wireless print Server, and you may lose a lot of the printer features like ink level monitoring, out-of-paper messages, etc.

      You could connect the printer to one of the computers and then share it.
      Other computers on the network can then use it as long as the computer it is connected to is turned on.
