Ethernet connectors come in two types, those on the hub/switch and those on the computer/printer/etc. To connect a computer to a printer you use a cross-over cable. To connect between a switch/hub and computer/printer you use a straight-through or 'normal' cable. Also, you say you are attempting to connect them to a 'router'. Just to make sure, you should be connecting both the computer and printer to the 'switch' side of the router and the uplink port to your modem.
