Windows 7 HomeGroup
Ever wanted to share your music, pictures and documents within your home computers and found the task to be difficult? HomeGroup in Windows 7 will simplify the tasks associated with sharing music, pictures and documents within your home network and Windows 7 PCs. HomeGroup also allows you to share your USB connected printers, if you have a printer in the living room that's shared by HomeGroup it will be automatically installed onto your other HomeGroup enabled PCs. Domain-joined computers can be part of a HomeGroup too.

More information here.

To configure Printer in the windows 7 homegroup you need to follow the following steps:
  1. Go to Network and Sharing Centre
  2. select Homegroup and go to Sharing Options
  3. Change the Advanced Sharing Settings
  4. under the Home or Work section, Need to select Options:
Then you need to turn on network discovery, There you will find an option to Turn on file and printer sharing, and your user accounts and passwords to connect to other networks. Then click Save changes.You need to make sure they are both on the same Workgroup.
