My wireless printer shows up on my debian.ubintu/caelinux and android devices, but they don't seem to know to print to it.
Must I get a wifi router?

Gotta have a wifi network to talk to a device over WiFi...
Some models *may* offer their own WiFi or NFC network for "WiFi Direct" printing. Check your manual.
Depends on the printer. Read its manual. Does it support ad-hoc WiFi?
Then you need to publish all diagnostics and information you have on the problem, we can not help otherwise.
This is off-topic here, anyway. You should ask in a Linux group for learning how to print on Linux, how to connect a particular printer to it.
