The second network card isn't needed and is giving you the problem. Put everything on one subnet.

If you can ping the printer, then you should be able to print. I suspect you've installed the printer in windows incorrectly. Remove it and start over with the driver disk in hand.
Go to the "Howtos" section here in computing.net and look up my post on installing a network printer for instructions.

Run ipconfig /all and post the results along with the IP of the printer. Also, use static IP addresses.
