Switch has difficulty talking to SITECOM LN-300 Print Server

I've recently bought a TP-LINK TL-SG105 switch.

Connected to the switch is
  • a TP-LINK AV600 powerline adaptor
  • a Sitecom LN-300 print server connected to a HP2300 Duplex printer (ethernet to parallel port)
  • a StarTech PM1115U2 print server connected to a HP Photosmart C4580 (ethernet to usb)
With this network combination for printing I find that -
  • The HP 4580 always connects to the network and a test print gets printed in a timely manner.
  • The HP 2300 has difficulty connecting to the network and if a test print gets printed it takes it's time.
My previous "network" for printing was to -
  • connect the Sitecom LN-300 print server directly to the TP-LINK AV600 powerline adaptor. In this combination the HP 2300 printer always connects to the network and a test print prints in a timely manner.
  • connect a 5m USB cable directly from my main PC to the HP 4580 printer. In this combination the HP 4580 printer always connects to the network and a test print prints in a timely manner.
What I don't understand is why the switch -
  1. finds it difficult to send packets to a SiteCom LN-300 print server
  2. has no problem sending packets to a StarTech PM1115U2 print server
