Hey You could have a switch that you should in theory plug the modem into the uplink port of the switch and you should have internet to anything plugged in and you should be able to plug in the printer.... Someone else out there can probably provide some more information.

Because the printing protocols have changed when the iMac arrived, it will not recognise the printer. Asante have produced a device (AsanteTalk) which rectifies the problem. It requires the only Ethernet port on the iMac. However, that port is occupied by a broadband modem. Questions: How can the iMac use both the modem and AsanteTalk at the same time? Will a splitter (about $40 at any PC shop) permit both the modem and AsanteTalk to be active? Any other solutions?
