Using a WAP to connect to a wireless router

I got a Dell 1600n laserjet printer for Christmas and it's have a built in ethernet port. I want to print wirelessly from any of my computers.

I currently have a D-Link DI-624 (Rev3) that has 3 computers connected physically as well as a laptop and xbox connected wirelessly. I bought a Netgear WG602 access point to connect my printer to via Cat5 to act as a bridge. I have the WAP set as a bridge with the router MAC address entered and it's showing up. WEP is set to 128-bit and the key is entered on the WAP. Computers can't see each other from the two wireless devices, any ideas?
 
I am not familiar with the specific Access Point.

But most of these Access Points have the regular Bridge Mode in order to connect to another Bridge, and some thing that might be called Group Bridge, or Client Mode that turns the Access Point to act as a Driverless Client.

It might be that you are in the wrong mode; you need to put on the printer the Access Point configured as a "Client" not a regular bridge.
