You didn't say which model, but assuming it's a Netgear WGPS606, then
this might be of help:

Wireless Print Server setup on 8.04

Well I am not sure if this will help but this is how I set up my Netgear
WGPS606 Wireless Print Server using 8.04. I have a dual boot computer
with Windows XP and Ubuntu. I also use the printer wirelessly for my
laptops as well.

Using the Printing - New Printer wizard
- Under Select Connection I selected LPD/LPR Host or Printer.
- Under Host I entered the IP number for my printer.
- Under Queue I enter L2. I can plug in 2 USB printers to my print
server and I have my printer plugged into port 2, thus the L2.
- I hit Apply and it set it up.

For the longest time I didn't think it was working because I was hitting
Print Test with no luck. I finally decided to just try and print
something and it worked. It didn't matter if I used the printer wizard
or Cups, they both worked the same.

If that doesn't work, then you can try ipp (Internet Printing Protocol)
- that is what I use for printing across my network. The format for ipp
in the 'Host' box is:

ipp://<IP address of device printer is attached
to>:631/<queue>/<printername>

Example:

ipp://192.168.1.102:631/printers/MP750
