The router is set to 192.168.0.1.

Omigod, I just got it. The "0" in the router address is the subnet. I
just now went into CUPS on the laptop and changed the IP connection
addresses for the printers from 19.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.24 to
192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.24. And now they both print! Yay!

Some day I may actually understand this stuff.

Thanks!
