Can you say what printer you have, does it have a ethernet connector, or does it have a parallel / USB port

It appears that you have connected it to the router what cable are you using is it a straight thru cable or cross-over?

have you installed the printers s/w on each printer? (when I installed my HP 1320 which had only a usb port I connected it to my router via a print server, I then had to install s/w for the print server on each PC to allow it to see the printer then I had to install the printer s/w.)

I have an HP PSC 2175 All-In-One with a USB port (And a USB port on the router for printers) and the cable is a straight through.
