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.
