Are Printer Drivers Required for All Networked Computers?

I have an old Dell XPS T450 running Windows XP SP3 that prints just fine to an old HP LaserJet 3150 all-in-one.  They are connected with a parallel cable.

I recently purchased a laptop running Windows 7.  However, HP has not and will not create a Windows 7 driver for the HP 3150.

1. Is there some way to network my Windows 7 laptop, my Dell XPS T450, and my printer so that I can print from my laptop, or

2. I am correct to conclude that each individual computer in a network must have appropriate print drivers in order to print to a networked printer?

Thanks in advance.
