I have an HP 1525NW printer here that is wireless.....  and I can print to it both from 
my LAN and also from iPad devices...

But my router is setup as an access point which means that I can set a static IP 
for the printer and it will be seen by the entire network.

I have two *wired* network printers at:

192.168.0.11      and 192.168.0.12

and the wireless printer is at:   192.168.0.13

to set up the HP1525, I went into cups  (http://localhost:631) and defined the 
printer as:


*Description:*
HP LaserJet CP1525nw
*Location:*
office
*Driver:*
HP Color LaserJet cp1515n pcl3, hpcups 3.13.3 (color, 2-sided printing)


*Connection:*
socket://192.168.0.13


and I selected the profile for the printer from the list of printers.

Note that I had to select "CP1515N" instead of CP1525NW  because they didn't 
have an entry for the 1525.  But it works just fine.


Hope this helps.
