Printer will not talk to computer now

I recently switched my Cox services to Internet Only. I was given a new gateway/router - the Netgear N450.  My printer was talking fine with the desktop previously but not it does not see it.  What's the problem?

The main thing is probably different IP. Uninstall the printer and reinstall the printer and it should work again. You don't have to run the full package, just delete the current one and click on "Add a Printer" and it should pick up the driver automatically. See instructions here.

Incase that doesn't work, or you need more specific instructions then;

1. What kind of printer is it

2. How is it connected to your computer and/or network.

3. What operating system to you have? IE Windows XP,7,8, etc.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the printer software usually works fine in a case like yours.
