Guys - I have my printer setup downstairs and wired to the router. I've always been able to print from various pc's around the house but something now I'm unable to print wireless from one of my PC's and I can't figure out why. Can anyone advise of the steps I can take to troubleshoot? Printer is a Brother MFC 5860 and I have windows XP. Thanks

I would check the printer properties on this PC and make sure the IP address is correct - compare them to a working PC. I note if my printer, or one my computers is disconnected from power, it may pickup a different IP assignment when power is restored so I have to reconfigure my settings. If all looks okay, you may need to uninstall the printer driver from that PC and reinstall it.
