I have DSL internet connection.
I use a switch that inputs from the dsl line and have 4 outputs.
I have three computers conected to three of the output connections.
Is there a way to connect a printer (Panasonic KX-P8420) to the fourth, and let the three computers (or at least one of them) use this printer as a network printer?

At first I thought by definition these four connections are 'outputs', but then I said to myself it's a go and come path otherwise I could not up/down load to and from the internet through the switch.

If this is at all possible, then how shall I proceed, given that I am using Windows XP in all the PCs?
