That's not enough info to be very thorough but, you'll need to check that they've all gotten an IP via DHCP. You can check the current leases in the Firewall/Router. I would reserve an IP to each MAC address so you don't have to deal with differing IP's after a power failure. If you're sharing the printer from a desktop/laptop then you'll need to make sure the OS is sharing it. If you're sharing from IP ready devices then you just need to know which devices have which IP's and then you can simply connect from the tools menu of any Explorer window.
If you want, PM me your Yahoo IM handle and I'll walk you through the setup as much as I can.
