1320c laserprinter with Network Adapter printing problem
I just swapped out my old router with a new netgear router. My 1320c printer with network adapter doesn't print now after I reconnected the printer. When I check the print status it says printer-spooling...not sure what to do. Any help appreciated.

The router is the device that provides IP addresses to the devices (PC's, Notebook's, printer's, etc.) on your network. Basically, it's the "heart" of a home network..... and you just did a heart transplant.
It's very likely that your router has given the printer a different IP address on your network. The drivers on your computer were likely installed before you swapped routers, and these drivers are expecting the printer at the original IP address.
Un-install all the printer drivers and re-install them to the new IP address assigned to the printer by your router. The installation software should find the printer at the new IP address.
