It's easiest if you can physically connect the printer to the router with an ethernet cable, then add a printer to the laptop, Network, locate and install.
But if it isn't near the router, you need to use the options on the printer settings to connect wirelessly to the right router, then add the network printer. Running the software on the laptop should work and is probably the preferred method so all required drivers and software is available, once the printer is on the router.

SOURCE: Connecting laptops to wireless Router
Go into the admin portion of the router by typing the ip address in internet explorer. By default your router should by http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1
the default user id is admin
the default password is linksys or admin
go to the wireless section set the signal for mixed and assign an ID that your laptops can recognize when scanning.
By default your channel id should be 6. If the notebooks aren't communicating set the channel id to 6 on the network cards.
Once thats connected then you can work on your wep encyption.
Linksys will not allow any admin work on their routers performed unless a computer is on a wired connection. Only the wired computer can do the admin work.

Hi,
To turn the wireless radio on and off, press FN + F2, if it still won't connect the adapter will probably need hard resetting.
This method will hard reset the wireless drivers back
to
default settings, but before you perform this remove power from the
modem and router for 2 minutes reconnect power and wait another 2
minutes for them to settle down.
Right click "computer" select "manage"
and then "device manager", a list will populate, then click on the + sign next to "network
adapters" and right click on the wireless adapter and "uninstall" the
device, reboot the PC and wait for windows to detect the wireless
card and install the drivers for it, this will appear in the system
tray (bottom right hand side) when its done try to connect again.
Good luck
If you have a wireless router with a wireless network then -
Configure the IP address your wireless
printer, (this is done through the printer's menu settings) make sure it
matches the IP address range on your wireless network, it maybe 192.168.1.***
then configure the wireless printer with a fixed IP address with the same IP
address range but at a higher address eg. 192.168.1.10 so it does not clash
with any other IP addresses.
Next install the printer driver normally.
Then configure the printer Properties.
Click Start - Printers and faxes - right click on the your printer - click
Properties - Port tab - click Add Port - Standard TCP/IP port -
Port Name eg. 192.168.1.10
Printer name eg Network printer
Click OK
Then do a TEST print if it does not work then the IP address is probably
incorrect.
