Explanation
Enabling print sharing through the operating system (e.g., Windows Printer Sharing) allows a USB-connected printer to be shared over the local network so other users can send jobs to it. This is the simplest and most direct solution. A print server (C) would also work but adds unnecessary hardware cost. A USB hub (B) only extends USB ports on one machine, not across the network. Installing PCL drivers (A) is about compatibility, not sharing.
