Thanks.

After I set up my home network, should I be able to see it under "network connections"? I don't right now. Thanks.

First, is your network printer truly a network printer or do you have a USB network hub in front of it?

Verify that the network address in the printer is the same as the actual network address.

Once the network address "conflict" is completed (by comparing the router "printer" address with the actual address loaded in the printer) then check each PC's printer config file to ensure that the address the PC is using to send printer files is the same IP address that the printer is located at.

For example, if your printer is located at 192.168.1.10 and one of your desktop PC's printer config files shows your old printer address of 192.168.1.15, your file ain't gonna print because when you changed the router, it changed the IP location of your printer.....
