I have a Netgear router connected behind a Linksys router, the Cat5 cable is connected to local on the Linksys and WAN on the Netgear. With the proper configuration in both routers it allows me the ability to access the web based setup configuration for both routers. This is a non standard way of connecting routers inline but is necessary to my setup and needs. Being that you only need access to a printer, it is not necessary for you to have this type of "complicated" setup even though it can be accomplished by router settings in my earlier response.
In short and to avoid complication, you should connect the Cat5 cable to a local port on each router and disable DHCP on the Netgear. You may still need to configure port forwarding on either or both routers if you still have connection issues.

I've just come across this info.
"Disable DHCP on the second router and connect the CAT5 cable from a
local port of the first router to a local port of the second."
My 2nd router is connect from the lan port on the 1st router to the
Wan port on the 2nd router. Should I be doing local to local ??? what
about crossover cable ??
