I have a switch and then a 4 port wireless router plugged into the switch. All the computers are wired into the switch.
Can I plug a network printer into the wireless router and then access the printer via a computer on the switch?
Thanks

As written I can't tell if it's setup for that to work. A little more detail such as:
The internet goes the WAN port and one of the 4 LAN ports goes to the switch.
In that setup, it should work.
The Internet goes into the switch, the switch has a wireless/4 portrouter plugged into it. If I plug the printer into a LAN port on the wireless router, but a computer is plugged into the LAN port of the switch, will that work?
Hope this is more clear, and thanks for the reply.
I can't guess how you share the internet connection as there is no router. Maybe the internet source is off one of those modem+router boxes. But yes, setup right you can get it to work.
