anyone know how to network a printer?

Hi, our computer just crashed at work, and we have a xerox workcentre pro 416 that everyone here would print to, and the person who configured this is no longer here, and I need to put this printer on my computer now and have everyone set up to print from mine, I have networked printers before but just when they were connected directly to mine, but I have no idea how to do this now, the printer goes straight to the linksys switch, so I'm lost on how to add that on my system? Thanks.
