I have 3 PCs connected to a wired router with print server to share internet
and printer. I have to move one of them to another room. I bought a wifi
router, config is as AP, use USB adaptor at the moved PC as client. Both
wifi and internet connection work. All PCs are at same subnet with IP
192.168.1.x. They can share files among them too. Both the one use wifi
connection cannot print via the print server. Any idea why?

Check the port settings in the printer settings on each PC, including
the IP address (usually 192.168.0.x), Protocol (usually LPR), and the
queue name (varies by print server, i.e. mine on a 3 port print server
are PS-5C6FDC-U1, PS-5C6FDC-U2, PS-5C6FDC-P3), and check that SNMP is
enabled.

When you add a printer, it should be configured as a local printer, with
the port being a Standard TCP/IP port.

You haven't just put in a "wireless cable" between the PC and the Access
Point, you've added a whole new wireless network.

I prefer using wireless print servers rather than a combination
router/print server, as it's less configuration hassle, and of course
because you don't have to have the printer close the router/print server.
