printer is not responding - SOLVED! ;)

[Brian Cluff]

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.
