Unfortunately I do not have access to high speed Internet and have to rely
on dial-up. I have 3 computers networked together (Win XP Home) using a
switch (not a router). All computers have a static IP address. Can I install
a print server without having a router? One of the setup parameters for the
print server is the
IP address of the router. Any help will be appreciated.

YES! Just follow the direction for the print server. As long as the print
server is connected to a network (on a hub, switch or router) it does not
matter. Just need to assign an IP address to it.

The print server will use a different protocol to configure (usually LPX).
From there, you can put in whatever IP address you want.
