ready to make a network win7 & win XP + new printer

For many years we have operated two separate computers and two separate printers. We have two computers hard wired into a router, and also have WIFI.

We recently bought my mother's computer (with WIN7 on it) and she had installed a network and forgot the password.

The new printer is a wifi printer and was very easy to hook up directly to the Win 7 computer, but because it already has a network which is password protected, we cannot change the "network" that it is on, which means, can't add the other computer or the printer to it.

It is amusing that if I type in the URL of the printer, I can access it from my WinXP computer in the other room but cannot print to it.

Is there someone out there that can help with this sort of problem?

thanks
