I use a notebook computer and print wireless over my home network. Now, when I'm away from home and take my computer. my home router and the printer are still on. When I go to print something, if I select the PSC 7525 (wireless) like I usually do, I'm told the printer is not connected. I can understand that, since the printer is not on the network I'm on at the time -- i.e., not on the hotel network. But since my home router and printer are still on, and the router is connected to the Internet, shouldn't I be able to find it and print to it -- install a printer "PSC 7525 (wireless)(travel)?

Uh, no. When you travel you are on a different network and can't use your printer. Different subnets.
Unless you have ePrint or Google Cloud Print then you should be able to print to it from anywhere.

Both are correct.
You can learn how to use HP ePrint by reading chapter 6 of your User Guide.
ePrint assigns an email address to the printer. All you have to do is attach the file you wish to print at home to an email, and it will be printed (as long as your printer has a live connection to your home network, and not connected to a PC via USB cable).
