Route a printer to subnet

I have one wired router/modem and 1 gargoyle wireless router (gateway mode). The first has my desktop connected to it (wired), the second is in another part of the house and is what I use for most of my wireless devices including my printer which is in a different room entirely.
Printer>192.168.1.21>Wirelss gargoyle router(gateway 192.168.1.1)>192.168.0.2>1st router/modem (gateway 192.168.0.1)
Using static routing how do I configure the routes?
This is my first subnet route

why do you need a static route?
or why "Route a printer to subnet"
Do you mean "Print to a printer on a different subnet?"

I think i'm slowly getting a picture of what your trying to do?
I think your problem maybe LAN through WAN?
solution: Put everything on the same subnet?

Let’s just put this thread on hold until the main networking problem is solved. Then we can look at a solution.

LAN Through Wan was the issue... In response to my other thread I set it up as a dumb switch and now I can print!!
Connect Via: Disabled
Wan Ethernet Port: Bridge to LAN
Router IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Wireless Mode:AP
Printer>192.168.0.21>Wirelss gargoyle router (Dumb Switch Mode)>192.168.0.2>1st router/modem (gateway 192.168.0.1)
If there is a way to use the gargoyle with all it's abilities in gateway mode I would like to know how and would be greatly appreciative... I have a family of 5 and am trying to monitor/choke their broadband use

In another thread, I was told that repeater mode could only be used if there was another wireless router. I only have a wired modem/router that I am connecting my gargoyle wireless too..
