Not seeing the printer in chooser usually means Appletalk is not  
pointed at the right port (printer vs. modem or ethernet) when using  
Airport is there a choice for Airport in the Appletalk control panel?

I support a number of OS9 machines that print using  Appletalk over  
ethernet to a LaserJet during the school year but don't have access  
to them right now to experiment with a setup like yours...
I think as long as the wireless router supports Appletalk ( which few  
seem to ) it should work
