After my computer stopped being able to print to my printer wirelessly (the printer isn't a wireless printer, but is wired to a wireless print server), I deleted the printer and tried to reinstall via the Add Printer Wizard. The printer wizard sees the printer on the network, but when I select it to install, it can't find the TCP/IP port and installation fails. How can this be?

I *can* print from this computer to the printer when connected directly via USB, and other computers can print to that printer wirelessly.

Any help would be much appreciated.
