I have a home network. Primary office with a Linksys router. Three laptops and a wireless desk top in my work shop. All were working and connected to the shared printer in the office. I replaced the HD in the office and everything works including the wireless network but I cant find the printer on the wireless network. I have allowed the printer to be shared but still unable to see it. I have experienced this before but it seams to be intermittent but not this time.

Hi,

I am assuming that the problem is only on your new HD.
Are you running any firewall on the computer? Try disabling it when installing the printer, and then enabling it again . . .

Yes it was my Norton firewall, after disabling and reconfiguring the firewall all is good again.

is this printer on the network through it own nic? if so print a config page offf the printer and chech the ip addess. then see if the pc having the print issiue is printing to the same tcpip port as the printer address...sometimes dhcp renewing will cause the issue.
