Switch router troubleshooting: Were you using the default addressing from the linksys with static addressing? Do you get link? Does it give out dhcp addresses?
I personally don't want to allow people access to my printers without my permission. Without a router/firewall then you have just given permission. Plus allowed additional snooping of your network. A flow of packets from the internet to your computer would give a better picture to allow a recommendation. Like mine: Frontier FIOS -> netgear WGT624->10/100 switch -> Computer.
