Look, this isn't complicated.
Something on your network needs to act as a print server. It would be this hypothetical device's job to queue up documents for printing, spool them and so on. This device can be a router (like your time capsule), a computer, or a printer could have one built in.
Calling a printer network-capable or network-ready is kind of bogus -- it turns out that any printer can be shared across a network and thus they're all network capable. The ones with that branding, though, have their own adapter and print server built in. This is useful for people who don't have a time capsule or router to provide the service, or who want to locate the printer in a spot where it would be inconvenient to have other devices set up.
So, short answer: you do not need a printer that's network capable. If the time capsule supports USB printers, a network capable printer will offer you no benefit.
That clear enough?
