Can you connect two desktop computers and one notebook computer to one router?
Yes, and you can connect many more devices. The router should have at least 4 ethernet ports to connect to. And/or you can connect wireless also. If you have more then 4 wired devices then you can use a 4, 8, or 16 port ethernet Switch to connect to the Router. Myself I have 3 desktops (wired), 3 wireless and 1 wired laptops, an X-Box 360 (wired), a Wii (wireless), a BlueRay player (wireless) and a Brother laser printer (wireless) connected to the router. (1 desktop, 1 laptop and the X-Box are hooked to the Router and the rest of the wired devices are connected to an 8 port ethernet Switch which is connected to the Router.)

Yes probably. However, there's probably some more logical ways of connecting your desktop to your printer. 1. Does your printer have an ethernet port? If so, use this to connect to your switch or desktop NIC directly. 2. Does your desktop have a wireless card? Use this and connect to your printer. 3. If not 1 or 2, setup a wireless access point or get a wireless router with some ethernet ports. You'll easily be able to connect all your devices this way.
