The only way is to get something called a usb device server.\nThis enables the usb device (like a printer or any usb device) to be shared over a network.\nI know www.microcenter.com carries a few.

In your control panel there is an option to share printers, you can also do it by setting up a network, your fire wall should not affect this in any way, but you will need a floppy disk or a mem stick to set it up. Play around with it and follow the instructions, it may seem much harder than it is. The only way you can do it is try and learn.

It's looking for a Parallel port (also known as LPT-1) This printer can connect through a 36-pin Centronics cable (parallel printer cable) or an A to B (standard) USB cable. Be sure you have the correct type of cable for the printer and that the printer driver is installed and selected as the default active printer..\n\nDell has recently remove the old LPT-1 ports from a lot of their PCs in favor of USB, and if you have a USB cable and the driver disk, set up should be relatively easy, be sure to use the printer's driver install disk...don't confuse COM-1 or COM-2...those are a different typr of communications port, rarely used for printers anymore since USB became popular.

• Click Start and then click Control Panel. \n \n• Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes. \n \n• In the Printers and Faxes folder, I clicked the printer's icon and, in the tasks pane, I clicked Share This Printer. \n \n• I opened the printer's Properties dialog box, and clicked on the Sharing tab. \n \n• I clicked Share Name, and then clicked OK. \n \n\nThat's it—the printer was immediately available for other computers to use.\n\nNow that I had a network printer, I was ready to connect to it and print from other computers on the network.\n\nTo connect to the printer\n\n• I opened Control Panel, and clicked Printers and Other Hardware. \n \n• I clicked Add a Printer. \n \n• Instead of adding a local printer, though, I clicked Printer Connection and then browsed the network for the printer. \n \n\nThe whole process took less than a minute before I was printing to the network printer as though it was connected to the computer

Since it's a network printer, you don't add it to your computer at all. You add it to your network.\n\nIf you don't have a network, you need to acquire a router (or switch or hub), and connect both the computer and the printer to the router.
