If I get this straight, the printer is attached to a computer and not
directly to the network. If this is correct you must have printer sharing
enabled on the computer that has the printer attached. The host computer
actually controls the printer not the network in this case. The network
attached to the computer uses the computer's IP address that is supplied by
DHCP and would have no way of transferring data through the host computer
without printer sharing enabled and the printer would never show up on the
network.
If the printer has it's own lan card installed or you have a network printer
server attached to the printer's input (it is attached directly to a switch,
hub or router and has it's own IP address) then you would not need to attach
it directly to a computer for sharing the printer through the network.

It has been a really long time for me to share printers this way and I am
sure someone else will respond if I am incorrect but IIRC you would need to
put in a trust relationship between the two systems though the server to
allow one computer on one side to access the computer on the other side.
Remember it is the two computer that will be "talking" between each other to
share the printer, not the printer with the computer on the other subnet.
AFAIK you will have to get really friendly with the lan administrator at the
business to enable the setup. Since you are using site certificates for
security this may or may not be easily remedied.
Sorry I can't be more help.
