If you have a printer installed, and set it to "sharing" on it's

Hrm, have thought bout a way to use (if there is one) a printer router
type thing to plug it into to (has usb cable) let all computers connect
to it via printer server or something along those lines (already have
linksys wireless router)?

If you printer is shared and you have a Linux driver for it then you
share it with cups just like any other printer.

If you get the IIS (Internet Information Services) running ing on your
Windows Machine then the machine will talk ipp protocol and no linux
driver is needed. It will show up as a printer in your cups web
interface.
