Help with setting up a network printer on home network.

Hello,

I was given an HP Laserjet 4200n, I figured it would be quite easy to set up and use at home. It's not been so straight forward due to the use of a powerline adaptor and second router to extend the network to a place where the printer can live without getting in the way. When the printer is connected to the 'main' FritzBox router in the house, it can be found and added as a printer with no problems. When I then take the printer and connect it to the 'remote' router (which is connected to the Fritzbox via a TP-Link Powerline adaptor and successfully broadcasts WiFi to that part of the house), it cannot be detected at all and cannot be set up as a printer in that location.

I'm probably missing something in terms of IP addresses, subnets etc. so any help that will enable me to find this printer when it's connected to the second router and enable it to be printed to from any device connected to the home network would be much appreciated. Please excuse the 'not very technical' description above!

Thanks,

Paul
