Printer setup in a Workgroup

I have 3 PC's set up in a home workgroup. On one I installed an hp 7130
all-in-one printer via USB port. The installation was successful and I could
print and use the other functions on the PC it was connected to.

I was expecting to have to add the printer to the other two PC's in the
workgroup manually. But when I logged on to each one, an icon showed up in
Printers and Faxes with the word "Auto" and the name of the printer on the
first PC. I was able to print without doing anything else.

In the past, I have had to install the printer manually so I'm not sure why
this happened. I want to make sure that they won't disappear as magically as
they appeared on the other 2 PC's.

Is this normal, or do I have some setting in place that I'm not aware of?

Thanks.
