cat5e comes from my router to a wall plate. If I plug my HP printer directly into the wall plate, my computers see it on the network no problem. If I instead plug the HFS5T 5-port switch into the wall plate, and the printer into the switch, the computers on my network no longer see it. If I try to ping it I get some kind of destination unreachable report on my pc. Ideas?
My router is a DLINK running DHCP.

Try resetting the switch back to its default configuration. It sounds like you have a routing issue within the switch causing your printer not to be seen by your pcs.
Can you connect a pc to the switch just to see if you can ping your printer from there?
