Can you not just change the printer to a fixed 192.168.1.x ip address? Serve up dhcp (192.168.1.x block) from the Draytek for client PC's, away from your fixed ip range. This will serve out ip addresses for lan and wireless (through the Linksys) clients. Linksys fixed 192.168.1.x ip address, DHCP server off.
