Share printer in home network

What operating systems do all the computers use? The printer will have to be attached to a computer that must remain on all the time in order for the other computers to be able to print to it. Unless you want to buy a usb print server that will attach to the router. But sometimes they don't work well with certain printers.
You might want to try something like this, just noticed that canon makes this.

All depends on if you are willing to spend any money or not. You have 3 choices.
1. Printer has to be on and connected to a pc that always has to be on in order for other pc's to print to it. You will need to make sure printer and file sharing is turned on. Sometimes sharing a printer on windows 7 can be a pain.
2. Buy the usb print server and hope that it works so that no pc's have to be on all the time.
3. Buy a new network printer(wireless or ethernet capable) and hook it up to your router
