Yes, but you aren't asking any questions.  You've told us you have a problem
with a specific printer, but very little about what you've tried.  Ask
intelligent questions, and you'll get answers.  In any case you got two
good answers - how many do you need?

It's all done through Samba and/or Cups.  Samba can be a real pain to setup,
I admit, but many people have no trouble sharing printers across a
heterogeneous network.  It's certainly nothing like "nobody has found a
solution".
