Ahh, added information that wasn't present in your original post, 2 routers.
Is the Netgear router setup as a switch

The netgear has had its check box for 'Use Router As DHCP Server'
unticked, therefore its not going to be a DHCP Server.

and it receives its IP from the D-Link?

Yes

Ok.
Is the printer IP assigned by the D-Link or is it a static IP you manually set?


Can the D-Link router
and connected machines be pinged from the Netgear router
and/or machine connected to it?

The dlink and Netgear can be pinged from the PC connected to the
Netgear.

Ok.
What about the machines connected to the D-Link?


The dlink but not the Netgear can be pinged from the PC connected to
it the Dlink

That appears to be a configuration setting in the D-Link > Advanced > Firewall and/or the Netgear > Advanced > Static Routes.

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?
Can the Netgear router be pinged from the D-Link router and/or all of the
machines connected to it?

How do you ping from a router ??

Most routers have a built in ping utility, info for D-Link is in the linked doc above, however I don't believe the Netgear has the ability. You may need to enable "allow ping from wan" in the Netgear.


All Pc's can connect to the internet OK.
