A machine running Windows 7 or 8 is not a server, by definition. It will allow a single client to connect to a remote desktop, and it will limit overall client connections (file sharing, printer sharing) to ten clients, if I don’t misremember.

Instead you will want to look into actual Windows Server operating systems (2016, 2019), and license up to use the Remote Desktop Services feature. If you have no previous experience, it may well be cheaper to hire a consultant and hang off their back to learn what they do than to learn everything from scratch on a deadline.

The printer - as long as it’s supported by your Windows version - should be the least of your problems here, if it’s connected directly to the terminal server.
