This shouldn't be a problem.  You will just have to enter your passphrase into you printers from panel.  At worst, you might have to re-add the device.  Can you give me more details.  What printer are you using?  What router?  What security did you setup?

Depending on what printer model, you may not be able to do it from the front panel.

 

Before you get too far down the road with this project, are you using WPA or WPA2?  If not, you are not actually secure (if you are using WEP).
