This drove me around the bend after intalling a Router &
Bell Hi-Speed on my SOHO.

Run everything into your hub or switch and connect to the
router with only ONE CABLE.

Learn from my mistakes and check your wiring. There are 2
ways to wire CAT 5.

It sounds like the print spooling service is terminating
unexpectedly. Whenever the print spooling service is not
running, you will see no printers.

You can look at the Event Viewer and see if there are any
error messages related to the print spooling service.

Rebooting solves the problem since the print spooling
service is setup to start automatically upon startup.

I would recommend updating all of the print drivers. A
flaky print driver has been known to cause problems with
the print spooling service.
