It's been I while since I've reinstalled cups, but I recall having to change
a few of the default, single workstation type, default configs

#
netstat -tan |grep 631
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:631             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
#


# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
#Listen localhost:631
Port 631


# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
  Order allow,deny
  Allow localhost
  Allow From Computer_2_network/24    #OR 0.0.0.0/0
</Location>


 As a NOTE, an Internet router is nothing more than a small computer coupled
to a switch. To eliminiate the second router/firewall simply disable the
DHCP service on router2 and connect router1 and computer2 to the LAN ports
of router2. The you simply have 1 network instead of 2.
