That's a silly response!
I think it can be politely translated as "we don't know enough about
what kit you have to be able to help you". And that's roughly what
you've been told in this newsgroup
I use multiple printservers on my wireless network without problem.
This is my typical setup:
- a small workgroup (1 or more PCs)
- wired to an Ethernet switch
- printserver 'black box' wired to the switch
- printer wired to the printserver
- wireless client/bridge device wired to the switch
This allows all local PCs connected to the switch to print to the
printer via the printserver. It allows all PCs anywhere on the rest
of the network to connect wirelessly to the printer.
I use (now obsolete) Intel NetportExpress PRO printservers. They can
be picked up on eBay at a reasonable price, and I can recommend them.
Inbuilt webserver for configuring, remote management utility, SNMP.
Support two parallel, one serial printer. I use them with HP LaserJet
printers without problem.
I also have a D-Link printserver which plugs directly into a parallel
port. I use this either wired to a switch or to a wireless client
device. I also have a LaserJet with a JetDirect printserver card.
This is either connected to a switch port or to a wireless client
device.
For the wireless clients I use D-lInk DWL-900AP+ devices which work
well, and again can be picked up on eBay.
*None* of this is anything to do with the router, which is why
Linksys aren't able to help.
If you tell us the make/model of the printer we may be able to offer
some further advice...
Hope this helps

It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
