Some background about your network would help? Server/Client? 2 PC's in a small office?

Install printer on printer server (usually create a IP port on the server to the printers IP) then share the printer this will give you a central print Q to manage if you wish

create policy to add the printer to machines (choice of user or computer deployment) using GPO preferences

right click on the printer and click deploy --> select which GPO policy you want to attach it to

 

and your pretty much done*

 

*this is slightly simplistic explanation but should give you a good start point, technet is your friend for this short of thing if just getting to grips with it.

Don't forget to add a DHCP reservation for the mac address of the printer, otherwise if a device sneaks in and takes the IP that you've assigned that printer on your print server, you'll have a load of unhappy users who can't print!
