YES,

1. Through windows, computer hosting the priter has to be on. Add a new printer (cp) select network or attached to another computer.
2. Some routers have a printer port (lpt and usb) for this. Some work better than others.
3. Add an print server to your printer. Connect directly to router.
4. Some printers are networkable. Nic built-in or can be added later.
