The OS does not matter as long as the right printer drivers are loaded. I currently print to one printer using a wired 32 bit, a wireless 64 bit, wireless Linux and wireless Xoom.

The printer don't care. You just have to have file and printer sharing loaded on the "host" computer (i.e. the one the printer's attached to) and set the right permissions for the printer.

It doesn't matter what OS you are using as long as they are all connected to the network and the printer is shared to the networked computers.
