Hi, Definitely. Go to System Preferences, Printers & Scanners, select the printer, then V-right to the "share this Printer" checkbox and check it. Basically, that's all you need to do although you can go into the Options & Supplies section if you wish to modify its name. As long as your computer is turned on an connected to that network, others will be able to print to it through your Mac.

My sighted partner gets very frustrated with technical things so I can’t rely on a patient helper to figure it out. I currently have the printer connected through usb to my Mac. That is fine but I’d like to be able to have other devices such as phones, iPads, and another Mac be able to print from the printer. Is there a way to have the printer show up for these devices by sharing it somehow through my Mac? Any tips appreciated.
