Question Super hub with Google WiFi

I have a superhub 2 and am about to install a 3-unit Google Wifi Mesh.

The Google WiFi can work with the superhub in either Modem or Router mode. Ideally, the superhub should be in modem mode, with the Google WiFi acting as the router for all devices (a switch can be connected for the wired devices). However, I do not want to do that because the Google WiFi IP range cannot be adjusted and I don't want to have to change the fixed IPs on all my devices (PCs, printers, etc). I will disable the wifi in the superhub.

This means that my wired devices will get addresses assigned by the superhub (192.168.2.1-999) and my wireless devices will get addresses assigned by the Google WiFi (192.168.86.1-24).

That's OK (I think) - but I have a concern...

Will a laptop with an address like 192.168.86.5 be able to print to my wired printer on address 192.168.2.60?
