You need to setup one system to talk to and share the printers.  This
system will be the "server".  You can enable printer sharing using the
web interface in CUPS 1.2 and higher (http://localhost:631/admin).

If the rest of the systems are using CUPS, they should automatically
see the printers and be able to print to them.  If not, edit/create
the /etc/cups/client.conf file on the other systems and add a line
reading:

     ServerName your-server-hostname-or-IP
