There is a printer in an office (HP Laserjet). All our OS X box's are set to use IP printing. Every computer in this joint can see the printer, except one printer in the same office as the printer. I can't ping the printer, print to it, etc. It just can't see it.

Any ideas what to try? I tried trashing preferences, pram, restarts, log outs, turning off printer, etc.

Thanks for your help.

Seems to me like time to talk to the network administrator and have him do some troubleshooting.

Can you talk to the other computers in the office?

Update: If I set the printer to use the Appletalk protocol to print, everything works great. We do not want to use Appletalk though.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Problem solved. It's too embarrassing to even admit what was the problem.
