Not sure I follow you here.

I assume you are network printing to either a print server or a printer with a network card in it?

How many printers are we talking about here? 1 or 2?

If you have a wireless router connected to a wired router, you most likely have an IP address problem.

You should turn off the DHCP on your wireless router, do not use the WAN port on the wireless router, plug into a LAN port between the wired router. This turns your wireless router into a wireless access point / Ethernet switch.

This should sort any DHCP problems.
