Win 7 does have a feature called 'Homegroup' which you are describing. Homegroup is an easy way to setup a home network as long as all units are Win7. While convenient, the standard way of networking is still available for all MS products.
We can talk you thru setting up the network if you are interested.
Basically, all computers have to be assigned the same workgroup. 'Homegroup' is Win7's default name of a workgroup.
Networking a printer depends on if it is a networkable printer or USB printer.
Essentially a networkable printer has an IP address and a USB printer is defined as 'Printer on Joe's Computer' or something like that.
Let us know your setup and any questions.
