To say that I'm not a network expert would be the understatement of the year so could I have some suggestions please regarding what I should do to get this working?
The simplest suggestion would be to connect everything on the same network, what is your reason for not doing this?
The reason that B can't see the printer on the network attached to A is that it doesn't know that the network is there, you will need to tell it (at this point I still suggest you put everything on the same network)
Otherwise you will need to setup machine A to do ip fowarding (from memory the magic is echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ip_forward)
Then you will need to add a static route to machine B so it knows how to find the printer (i'm assuming linux so something like...)
route add 192.168.2.0 gw 192.168.1.blah (ip address of the other machine)
should do it.
