Wireless printing

[Flores]

I have a network printer on my network. I also have a wireless router for
customer with laptops to connect to the internet. Can the wireless customer
be able to print to my network printer and if so how? Thanks

There's a lot of information you've left out.

- Is it really a network printer with its own IP address or is it a
shared resource on one of the computers of your LAN?

- Do your own computers, as well as the printer if it is a true network
printer, use the same router as the one to which customers may connect?
Even if they do, when the customers connect to your wireless router, are
they isolated from all other computers (the usual case for commercial
hotspots like Starbuck's, etc.)?

- Do you care if customers can potentially access files on your own
computers?

It is a printer with its own IP. The router is a simple netgear 8 port
wireles router connected to my switch. When people connect to the router they
are isolated from other computers. They could attach to my servers and such
but of course would need a user name and password.
