Any switch will do for expansion of the ethernet wired network. I'd stick to the main brands of linksys, netgear, d-link, belkin, but can't see a problem with any really assuming they are an auto detect 10/100 and also auto sensing on the uploading port (i.e. no crossover cable needed).

As for the print server aspect, far more tempermental. Any time I've tried to network a printer, I've only done this reliably if the printer is ethernet enabled so I can set a "server" computer to control it's functions.
