Assuming you've taken care of the routing (after all, 192.168.x.x is a class C address range so you're using two different subnets) then the gigabit NIC will use the NAS at 1Gbps. Since the wireless NIC is connecting via the router (which has been stated at 100Mpbs) then the wireless NIC will use the NAS at either 54Mbps (assuming you're using an 802.11g card) or 100Mbps if router/nic allow a "turbo" mode.

As for the printer, depends on the speed of the NIC but even on 100Mbps there are so many other factors that will dictate the speed of printing!
