This type of problem is guaranteed to happen with windows network printing even before the patch.

And HP printers are the helliest of all. It is totally normal that you have 2 identical PCs, identically configured, and one sees the printer meanwhile the other can't detect it.

One day the printer works, and the next day they are gone magically. No change at all on the PC, and the printer vanishes into oblivion.
