This is sort of half networking, and half printer..but here goes...
The way my system is set up is that there are two partitions. One for screwing around/games and one for serious work. The one for screwing around, which henceforth will be partition 'A' is perfectly connected, on a network, to the printer. The work partition (partition B) however, will not find the network, let alone connect to a printer. Because partition A connects, it rules out the connection problem. I'm also connected to the internet through this network, and both partitions connect fine.
Connecting on a ground line is out of the question based on the distance from my CPU to the printer. The printer is an old HP LaserJet 4.
The problem is very recent, as partition 'B' was printing earlier in the day. Any suggestions?
