Re: printer is not responding - SOLVED! ;)

You're router probably lost power and when it came back on it handed out
different addresses than it had before.

I'd suggest going into your router and assigning specific IPs based on a
devices MAC address for devices such as printers.  That way it's still
configured via DHCP, but the address will always be the same.
