make sure under "file and print sharing" that "share printer" is checked, and that you've named the printer

If all these 5 computers in on the same network.. all you need is to decide making one of your 5 computers as a printer server and share that printer.. and that should work.. and make sure your file and print sharing is on..sorry if this is too vague i am new posting solutions on the fourm
