Yes, two: 1) You could buy one of these small ready-to-use printer servers (20 - 30 EUR around here). They will serve each computer seperately via network and - you don't need to have a whole computer up and running. 2) Most people don't know Cups can work as a printer server without the help of Samba. If you were able to set up Cups on one machine (either FreeBSD or Linux) it could serve the others (even Windows) via network.
