Yes I managed to work that out but I still cannot ping the printer so I've assumed I must be doing something wrong or there is something obvious I haven't though of doing.
Install traceroute if you don't have it already.
traceroute 'ipaddress of printer' and post it here along with output of route on machine B
I think at least one of those will narrow it down.
At the back of my mind I can't help thinking that because we are not masquerading on machine A we need to tell the printer about how to get back to the network on the first card.
On your printers IP config in the jetdirect menu there is an option to set the default gateway, this in your case should be the address of the network card the printer is plugged into on machine A
