We have a laser printer down the hall to which I attached an old

LAN
Usually devices can be access points, wireless clients, or bridges,
but not more than one. I would expect if you connect the printer to
the LAN, then anyone using the printer would need to connect to the
LAN's AP instead of directly to the printer.

That I understand (from my limited knowledge base)--I figured the
Ubiquiti AP would serve as the goto AP instead of the older one attached
to the laserjet (which would, if possible, then be configured as a
bridge in this scenario?).
I currently use the older router wired to the laserjet because I
expected it to have more range, and honestly haven't tried setting up a
printer's wifi connection before. So it is a standalone system right
now. Would that printer work directly with the LANs AP as a bridge,
getting its IP address, etc, from there? I don't want unlimited access
to it.
