printer is not responding

[Brian Cluff]

By that error, I believe that your system is working correctly, it just 
can't reach the printer anymore.

My stab in the dark guess would be that your printer changed IPs and you 
need to update your config to reflect that.

Perhaps your wife's computer is setup in such a way that it allows for 
the printer's IP address to change and it takes that into account.
