Go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners. Select the printer you want to share. Click 'Printer properties'. Go to the 'Sharing' tab. Check the box labeled 'Share this printer'. Give the printer a share name (this is how it will appear to other users). Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'. Other devices on the network can now add the printer using its network path (e.g., \\YourComputerName\PrinterShareName).
