I assume you want to use CUPS - or do you want to use Samba?
Can you tell us what type of printer you are using?
Does the printer work for the machine where it is connected?
If you enter the command

netstat -tan|grep 631

in a terminal, what is the output? If there is only the line

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

your printer isn't setup for sharing. Maybe this will help you with the 
setup: <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu>

So there are two problems? You can't share your printer and you can't 
share files?

What is the command you use where you are asked repeatedly for the 
password?
