    All you have to do is put the printer on the same network as the Mac or Windows PC you want to use it with.  Once you do that, all you have to do is install the printer's software on the Windows PC and it will work.  Then just point the Mac to the printer and it will work.  I can point you to more information about the process, but it will depend on the printer.  Any HP wireless printer will work with both Mac and Windows PC's as long as they are connected to the same network.  I hope that answers your question.
