Your problem most probably is that your gateway is missing a (host)
route to the print server. Because of that, it routes requests to the
print server through its default interface (the one connected to the
internet. AFAIK, something like

# route add -host 192.168.2.253 eth0

Should do the trick. And if that gateway is already the default gateway
for your LAN clients, these clients should be able to reach the print
server as well. Otherwise, you need to find out how to push static
routes to the clients (via DHCP) or configure them manually where
necessary.
