Ahh, added information that wasn't present in your original post, 2 routers.
Is the Netgear router setup as a switch and it receives its IP from the D-Link?
Can the D-Link router and connected machines be pinged from the Netgear router and/or machine connected to it?
You mentioned being able to ping the printers IP.
Can it be pinged from the D-Link router and/or all of the machines connected to it?

Right now I am getting somewhere.
My printer is an epson CX11N laser.
Just to run thro my setup.
My broadband connection is connected to a DLink DI624 router. Three of
its ports are connected to other computers. The fourth port is connect
to a Netgear RP614 router.
From the Netgear one of its ports is connected to the printer, with
another port connected to a single computer.
This single computer prints out no problem.
Its the other 3 computers, that will not play the game. All 3 have got
the printer drivers installed and will send a print to the printer
queue. But an error comes back 'the document failed to print'

My epson laser printer is connected to a spare port on my netgear
router.
The laser is there as the local ip address comes up when I checkout
the router. I can ping that local ip address and its Ok.
I can also go into the printers setup, and everything is OK.
But when I try to 'add a printer' on my XP computer it just does not
find it. Also I try to find local network printer in 'my network
places' its not there.
Any ideas please.
Make sure File and Print Sharing is enables.
If using any third party firewall, make sure you add the remote
machine(s)/printer IP address in the trusted zone.
When adding a networked printer, select the option "Connect to this printer ( or
browse.............), type in the UNC path to the printer and click next.
If none of the above gets results, read the manual for your printer make/model
(not mentioned in post).
