I never networked my Xerox Laser printer. (B/W P8)
If yours has a Xerox "Super Driver", the following might not be possible.
I "have" Networked (for very light use) an un-networkable HP.

I installed the printer on all local machines as a local printer.
(This solved the problem of pulling drivers across the network during
the network install part.)
After the printer would work locally, I moved it to the computer
where it would be "for good" and just used normal printer
mapping (and sharing) to find and use it from the other machines.
I remember it was pretty simple and was surprised to find out later it
was not supposed to work. It was four years ago (in Win95B) and
I forget all the "finer details". (All machines had same OS.)
From what I remember, there were about three different ways to
do/try this, and only this way worked. It is an HP 820CSE
