I use a DG834g (your subject said 824 but I assume this to be a typo) 
here and it shows all devices connected - wired or wireless. I use an 
inkjet printer with a Netgear single parallel-to-ethernet hub attached. 
The print hub and any wireless-ly connected computers show up in the 
Attached Devices list.

Possibilities that spring to mind are that the printer has a hard wired 
IP address in a different range (or is on a different subnet) to the router.

Is the printer getting its IP via DHCP? IF so is the DG834G supplying 
this? If this is not the case it might be worth setting it to be so just 
to test if the printer can find the router.
