Printer Sharing on Multiple LANs

Hi, I have a Debian Etch computer used as a centralized point for some services in my home network and now I want it to configure it for centralized printing. It has 3 Network Interfaces:

1. External internet interface (public ip)
2. Internal wired LAN (192.168.1.0/24)
3. Internal wireless LAN (192.168.10.0/24)

I successfully managed to setup printer sharing and browsing on the wired LAN (192.168.1.0/24) using documentation (http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/sharing.html), but I can't seem to get it working on the wireless network.

The configuration on my Laptop is exactly the same as the configuration on the Desktop computers but when connected to the wireless network it can't see the printer on the centralized server. When I connect my laptop to the wired network instead, it can successfully see the printer.

Are the printers on the centralized server published for _all_ of the LANs it belongs to? Where should I be looking for more debug info?

Thanks!
