connect 2 routers together + printing

All my pc's are now using the linksys WRT54GS connected direct or wireless for the internet.
I did have a Wired SBRU10100 with built in printer port which was great.
I want to if possible add the SBRU-10100 to 1 of the Linksys's spare ports and get get the printer port working so i can print from any PC

WAN(NTL)--Linksys------SBRU--USBPrinter
PC ------------' |
PC -------------|

So do you Connect 1 of the linksys ports to the WAN of the SBRU?
The bit im not sure about the Linksys and the SBRU have the same IP192.168.1.1 ,when you setup the printer on your PC you point it to An IP address but if there the same how do you get to the SBRU if the the Same IP. do you change the IP address on the SBRU, if so how?

thanks nyck

Right best thing to do is if you can turn the NAT and DHCP servers off on the SBRU and connect the 2 routers together by one of the LAN ports on each.
