make a networked printer available to a subnet

[Matt Price]

Hi folks,

we have two wireless routers in our hose:

- an old linksys running tomato-pppoe so teksavvy an avoid the Bell
throttling;
- a new d-link whose wireless network actually works, unlike the one on the
linksys, which has been extremely erratic for years.

The two routers are in separate parts of hte house, and our printer is
attached (via cat5 cable) to the tomato-run router for arcane reasons.  It's
an hp officejet (nice printing quality, a little slow & really expensive
ink); here's the printers.conf listing from /etc/cups:
<DefaultPrinter HP-Officejet-Pro-8500-A909a>

</Printer>

Here's my question:  how do I access this printer from the d-link's wireless
network?  Do I have to open ports on one router or another?  The device uri
has been converted to that odd hp:/, but as I remember it used to be and LPD
queue on a fixed IP.  Again:  can I push the printer info out into the
subnet, or is this a lost cause?

Thanks as usual
matt
