I have 2 computers (1 Mac with OS X, 1 PC Win2000) connected wireless via Linksys Router. If I connect a printer to an ethernet port of the router, could I share the printer and print wireless?

Yes. You would, of course, need the printer to be ethernet-ready. In this situation, you'd use IP printing (Unix-style printing), and access the printer by its IP address.

As a caution, be sure to set a fixed IP address for the printer! It's hard to print to something that keeps moving around.
