Printer / Subnet
I have a 10.0.1.1 gateway, and a switch with a number of connected devices (all static IPs). One of the connected devices is a printer (IP 10.0.1.17). I also have a wireless router (a basic Linksys WRT - 192.168.1.1) connected to the switch. A PC wirelessly connected to that Linksys can get on the Internet just fine, but I’m trying to get it to see the printer.
My networking is rusty (I’m a programmer…) – any help would be appreciated!

This might be easier if someone knew what OS you're running. In Windows you can normally just go to the control panel, and then in the Printer part, "Search" and so on, and it usually finds it. In Linux, it depends what GUI you have running. But the process is the same.
I'll move this to hardware, since this forum is for Network Security.

I would put the router in the 10.0.1.* range, and have it hand out 10.0.1.* IPs with DCHP. [You can usually specify a range to hand out, so it doesn't conflict with your static addresses] -- You should be able to get to the printer then.

what happens when ...
what happens when you manually enter the printers' ip address for a "local" TCP/IP printer connection?
ie.. in windows -> add new printer -> Local -> add port -> standard TCP/IP -> ip 10.0.1.17 ->next / next / select printer etc...
The possible problem could be the linksys router not allowing communication back through, especially if there are some packets that come without first coming from the 192.168.x.x side...
You could turn off the firewall / SPI in the linksys so that the linksys is a router not a firewall + router ..... that might help..
yes, windows was assumed.

You might also try reprogramming the router to act as a
wireless access point instead, which typically involves
disabling DHCP. As long as you don't already have a DHCP
server running on your network, you might have the Linksys
hand out ip addresses. I think you'll have to plug the
ethernet cable into a LAN port if you assign the Linksys
a 10.0.1.0/24 address. There's tutorials available online
for such reprogramming.
