Not familiar with this setup through router. You could try installing computer to one computer and sharing printer through home group. If your printer is not beside either computer then I can see there is a real issue. I'll do some digging.
I got it to print except it kicks out the error "Port not Connected". I can probably live with the error message even though its actually printing. Here's what I did...........
1. Run the Add Printer Wizard from Start > Devices and Printers > Add a printer.
2. Select Add a local printer then click Next.
3. Select Create a new port then set Type of Port to Standard TCP/IP port. Click Next.
4. In the printer name's IP address field, type the IP address of the wireles router then click Next.
5. Select Custom then click Settings.
6. Set Protocol to LPR. In the Queue Name field, type LPRServer then click OK to continue.
7. Click Next to finish setting the standard TCP/IP port.
I already installed drivers and software so I didn't need to do that, I let it check for newer drivers. I suggested I use the current drivers. Finally click on finish.
I tried doing this a different way and it didn't work so I removed the print device and started over with this method.
Like I said I get an error "Port not Connected" but it still prints.
