An internet router with wireless turned off and no connection to a WAN nevertheless remains a functional switch. Thus "unconnected" it should function no differently than the ethernet switch mentioned in your OP. Why you failed with that switch I have no idea. It should have worked, unless one of the ethernet cables was in fact a crossover cable or otherwise a bad cable. With two regular ethernet cables, either original switch or the WRT110 should behave just like a crossover cable connection directly between printer and PC's NIC. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
