How to distribute a USB printer between computers with Win7, if the standard tools do not work?

Good evening!
There was a small office and there was a USB MFP in it, distributed through one of the machines (all of them on Win 7). The server with CD, DNS \ DHCP has fallen in it, it can not be repaired yet.
DNS is now raised on the router, there is no CD, respectively, machines see each other, but it is impossible to connect to the one with which the printer is distributed either by NetBIOS or by IP address - I get the error "There are no servers that could process the request to enter the network" .
Altering profiles to local ones and taking machines out of the domain is also not an option.
The office is in China, and I am in the Russian Federation.
A print server is also not an option, because then the scanner part of the MFP will fall off.
Is there a way to share a printer like RemoteScan, i.e. using its own protocol, addressing IP machines directly. Let the software be paid, it's not scary.

Add access to everyone and everything in the printer properties on the security tab, or create a local user and give him full rights on the printer. On a remote computer, run from cmd - control userpasswords2 and add there the data of the local user that you created on the computer with the printer. Write in the hosts the name of the machine and the address on which the printer is installed. Set the printer as local but with the new port Standard TCP IP specify the IP address of the computer with the printer in the port address. It should work.
